If its damage, please explain pre or post strike. I have a hard time understanding some damage. A lot of these would require high heat and pressure. Where besides the strike does the tree his happen? Thank you
There are many numbers of ways this could have happened after it left the mint. The coin was bent and then straightened back out so it could be used in a vending machine again....perhaps... maybe.
Well I told the new person to post all the coins he wanted. We are here to help DEFDAM - Definitely Damaged. Unfortunately there is no definitive answer on how it bacame damaged but it is definitely not a mint error
Here's one way out of thousands that this quarter could have been bent, and then re-bent so it could be placed back into circulation: So if you want to be a coin bending magician, first, buy the secret coin bending key tool, then practice your mystical magical magician face, and then go to work bending coins to matching mystical magical magician music on youtube:
Blank sheet process of cutting blanks,, debris on stock, defective planchet, alloy mixtures, clips, planchet errors
So, you're saying that anything that happens before the planchet reaches the coining chamber should be considered "pre-mint damage". Correct? ~ Chris
