Gnatbrat New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 02/04/2024 8:59 pm Im curious if anyone has seen this on any coin before or if it is an error or post mint damage. No marks on the obverse and the rim looks formed around the mark. Any insight would be great. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 02/04/2024 9:32 pm I agree that there is no evidence of damage on the obv, but still believe this to be damage rather than struck through a foreign object.

BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4589 Posts	Posted 02/05/2024 08:48 am PMD. The force was applied at an angle, crushing the dentils on the reverse. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff

robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 02/05/2024 3:33 pm Agree with damage. The obverse is affected (denticles very weak opposite the strike). Agree it was struck at an angle. Report this Post to the Staff
stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 02/10/2024 07:52 am I'm going to disagree with the above. If you look at both ends of the anomaly, where it meets the edge/rim , you will see that small fins were formed during the strike. I have seen this on other incomplete planchets, like this 1924 straight clip. This finning would not be present after damage. This anomaly is most likely from a rolled in foriegn object when the coin metal sheet was rolled to thickness. Report this Post to the Staff
kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 02/10/2024 1:36 pm I see "damage" repeated around the right side, like 3-4 separate long light gouges. Hard to say what this is. If that much metal was missing when it was struck, or it was struck through something that thick, it seems like there would be evidence on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
