Velvethell New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 04/23/2025 1:56 pm Could anyone tell me if this is an error or did someone somehow break this? It is not smashed or dented around the break edge. Thank you in advance. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

On second thought, it could have been frozen with liquid nitrogen and then cracked. In any case, it's just a damaged coin - not a mint error.

halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 1488 Posts	Posted 04/23/2025 5:50 pm Pretty cool homemade "error." Good observation by @Spence about the torquing or twisting on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
