Spence Moderator United States 34423 Posts	Posted 07/05/2023 06:04 am Given the heavy damage evident on the part of the cent pictured, it is far more likely that those edge dimples on this cent are also damage rather than something happening at the mint. @scoo, please add the date and mint details to this thread so that I can add this information to the title. Including that is important to the search functionality on CCF. Thx.

Sap Moderator Australia 16839 Posts	Posted 07/05/2023 07:57 am Again, Occam's Razor ought to be applied: here we have a coin that is obviously damaged - looks like it's been in acid, or something else corrosive. What are the chances that the coin has suffered from both (a) an unusual mint error, and (b) been dropped in acid. Much lower than if just one of those things happened i.e. it got dropped in acid. So the odds are that all of the damage visible on this coin was caused by the same thing at the same time - if the damage is consistent with that single explanation. And "two perfect holes" on the coin's edge is certainly consistent with acid damage, and not with some strange unheard-of mint error that causes holes to appear on a coin's edge. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96735 Posts	Posted 07/05/2023 08:12 am I see a damaged and dented coin - just a spender. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
