jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1260 Posts	Posted 12/30/2024 7:36 pm * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Good evening. I opened a sealed cellophane wrapped 1976 D Bicentennial mint pack so I could fill some holes in my Dansco folders and found this dollar that appears to have a lot of DDD/MD. It also has a bunch of evenly spaced "grooves" on the obverse that looks like some sort of damaged caused when being ejected from the chamber. (I'm guessing). Thanks for your comments and opinions.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96214 Posts	Posted 12/30/2024 10:30 pm can you give us a better image of the reeded section, more of the edge, while still seeing some of the rim and field by the date?

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10547 Posts	Posted 12/31/2024 02:30 am Right - damage from the cellophane packaging sealing machine. MD also. Your coin is pretty beat up for being in a "Mint set". Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96214 Posts	Posted 12/31/2024 07:43 am I'll agree with the cello sealing machine damage. I just wanted to see if the marks lined up with the reeds on the edge.
