aipt New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 07/18/2023 7:34 pm I'm going through my father-in-law's collection and found this 1964 with what appears to be a mangled S and a deformed U in the word TRUST. I've attached an image showing this. Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

Second, is it possible that this is just mechanical damage which has moved some of the metal around on those letters?

aipt New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 07/18/2023 8:32 pm @spence, thank you for the welcome -- and the response. I have a bunch of new coins and think this forum will be super helpful. I doubt this is damage after minting because it's stored in a plastic case. it has a blue card that says in memorial but I have no idea if this was a third @spence, thank you.

Also this was originally my father in law's father so there's a good possibility it was purchased when it was first issued. Here's a picture of the coin in the case. gimmick or not.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19171 Posts	Posted 07/18/2023 8:40 pm I'm thinking post-strike damage (after striking). The half in question was placed in the plastic case by a third party re-seller--not the mint. I've seen this packaging a few times over the years. The coins typically are in pretty decent condition, but not 'high' mint state. Edited by ijn1944 07/18/2023 8:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96580 Posts	Posted 07/18/2023 10:31 pm that case is not one the mint used or would use. this is an aftermarket production. so, I agree with the others and say that the U is damaged.

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 07/19/2023 4:16 pm to the CCF and Not gov package. Even if it was, coins receive all kinds of marks after they are minted. They are dropped into bins ran through counters, and a lot more. This is called Post Strike Damage. Report this Post to the Staff
