Does a roller plating error mean improperly prepared proof planchet?

Also I believe a roller error could have been a business planchet. Could have grabbed a business planchet? 1987S

Image 1: post-strike hits, that is, damage.

All the rest of the images: plating separation, to be expected when one chooses a composition as stupid as thin copper over a soft, active metal. (No reflection on the OP or even the Mint, only on the legislators and lobbyists who forced that composition through.)

Look at a dozen proof Zincolns at that same level of magnification, and I'll be you'll find such marks are common.

 

Not a roller error and the US Mint does mint coins by grabbing.

 

What? Yes they do.. You never heard of the coin grabber the mint implemented in 1987?...
Here it is. Made in Japan!

 

Sorry Paddy, I've never heard of the coin grabber. He looks tough with just his eyes and one paw. I bet that's why we see so many damaged coins. All that damage is happening at the Mint. It's no wonder so many people are thinking the damage is a Mint error. My mistake and thank you for correcting the error of my ways. Now I know better. LOL so hard it's starting to hurt.
