-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8748 Posts	Posted 03/24/2024 10:57 pm I have come across something that is out of my comfort zone but have seen posted here quite a few times. From what I have learned from previous posts, it looks like this could have been done by the mint but post-strike, possibly while being ejected. I tried to save space with the pics, so some may be small and out of normal orientation. If you need addition pics, please let me know. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks. Jon. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74090 Posts	Posted 03/24/2024 11:28 pm I'm thinking that it's Pre Strike Damage that happened at the Mint. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6499 Posts	Posted 03/24/2024 11:40 pm Both the big scrape and the long scratch are aligned on the obverse and reverse. Obviously something was gripping or scraping the coin surface to produce those marks. When or what, I cannot say. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95805 Posts	Posted 03/25/2024 08:54 am Could be some sort of ejection damage as it exited the striking chamber. Collecting since 1972.

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8748 Posts	Posted 03/25/2024 7:42 pm Thanks for the input, everyone! Just thought it was odd looking, the direction lining up with the zinc on both sides and the crumpled looking rim. It just gave me pause, probably nothing. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
