Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 04/03/2024 9:53 pm looks like it was part of a circulation hit. Notice how the area where the '6' is, is flattened .. Collecting since 1972.

Reese19516 New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 04/03/2024 10:03 pm Thank you for the reply and also to all others who are attempting to help . Yes, I see the flare area where the number sits . Am not sure what a circulation hit means . Can you explain or drop me a link ? ( I just tried to find online but was unsuccessful. Am trying to understand if the 6 or 9 came from a strike from another coin And also understand if this is rare enough to add value to the coin ? Report this Post to the Staff
livingwater Pillar of the Community United States 2213 Posts	Posted 04/04/2024 08:58 am Circulation hit means it was damaged while in circulation, hit with something, also called post mint damage PMD, it did not come from the mint this way, not an error. It's probably just a coincidence it looks like a number. Or someone used a number punch to make the impression. People do all sorts of things to coins, heat them, try to make a false toned color, scratch letters on them, stamp them with designs, put them in a vise with another coin to force a design to the surface, make a fake error, no value in any of this. To be a true error coin it has to have happened at the mint, the area on your coin did not happen at the mint, no extra value. Edited by livingwater 04/04/2024 09:12 am Report this Post to the Staff
