JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21589 Posts	Posted 02/03/2025 3:24 pm To be an error, it has to happen during the striking of the coin. Anything else that happens after that time is considered damage. There is nothing showing on your coin that could have happened at that time so it is considered damage. Most anomalies are just damage as it is rare to find a true error in the wild. Report this Post to the Staff
