okiepb Pillar of the Community United States 1213 Posts	Posted 01/16/2011 09:44 am I found multiple coins from a box of uncirculated, fresh from the Mint via the Direct Ship Program, that have issues around the neck both in front and in the back of Sacagawea. Can anyone tell me if these are significant with the pictures that I have here? Or do I need to get better pictures? Also, in the 2nd picture that there appears to be noticeable doubling on the date, especially the 2nd zero. Is this just Machine Doubling? Any information that anyone can share would be appreciated.

okiepb Pillar of the Community United States 1213 Posts	Posted 01/17/2011 08:22 am Coop, I hadn't figured on damage since I found almost a full roll of them. What would cause consistent identical damage on that many coins? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/17/2011 08:30 am Was this roll a OBW roll? It appears the edge of a coin made the mark present on your coin. You can see where the jaw turned the direction to move around the jaw. A whole roll? Somebody was busy or another explination might help. Report this Post to the Staff
okiepb Pillar of the Community United States 1213 Posts	Posted 01/17/2011 09:39 am Coop, I ordered 2 boxes ($500 total) of them from the Mint's Direct Ship program. They were all wrapped by String & Sons so there were no OBW rolls. That's why it seemed like damage from the mint. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/17/2011 09:51 am Let's see if anyone else has an idea of how this happened. That is my only solution. Mike Diamond might know what I'm lacking here. Report this Post to the Staff
Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5604 Posts	Posted 01/17/2011 09:52 am Just my opinion, If you are saying that this coin is from a vendor wrapped roll, from the Mint's vendor, I am still amazed the quality control dept at the Mint is still asleep at the cash register.......I mean no-disrespect to you, I just can NOT believe this is still going on, Meaning I guess you have to go for a Mint set to expect a decent coin? SAD! Report this Post to the Staff
zeewool Pillar of the Community 3660 Posts	Posted 01/17/2011 10:23 am If this were anything other than a die issue, the damage would be on the devices rather than the fields.... Looks to me to be an abrasion (scrape) on the die. The doubling appears to be machine (strike) doubling. Edited by zeewool 01/17/2011 10:24 am Report this Post to the Staff
okiepb Pillar of the Community United States 1213 Posts	Posted 01/17/2011 10:21 pm Thanks for all the info on this. Sounds like I should just spend them or maybe put them out here & see if anyone's interested in them. Report this Post to the Staff
