    I got this in a mint set. The defect is small but quite obvious. There appears to be a slight indent

    around it. I haven't seen posts anywhere about a die gouge on this mintage. Any guesses?

    Thanks, Bob

    It looks like a die gouge or a linear die dent.

    Thanks. After looking at a picture of a die dent on an Oregon satin finish on the CONECA site, I can see the same surface condtion surrounding the mark appearing as a slight indent.

    This coin is in a mint set I ordered from the mint on the release date and shipped a couple days later. Figured someone else would have reported it sooner which is why I considered it a possible inclusion.
