    I found this half dollar 1951 coin with the flaw as seen in the photo. It looks to like a manufacture flaw. Any comments. Thanks

    Not a flaw. Not an error. Just damaged.

    First, welcome to the neighborhood, Roger D.!

    It looks like post-mint damage (PMD) to me, but I have to ask you, "What leads you to believe that it is a Mint error?"

    rickmp Frequently flatulent.

    I'd stay far away from the animal that bit that half.
