I'm 99.99993385% sure that this is a planchet error...but just to make sure....what do you think? http://img32.photobucket.com/albums/v95/rolltide/cent.bmp I found this earlier today when I got my milkshake. Sorry about the small blurry pic. Should be good enough. I didn't know if I should post this under "What it's Worth" or "Circulation Finds" or "Errors" or "Main Coin Talk" or what so here ya go...I'll stop talkin now
Because of the angle you used to take the pic - it's hard to say for sure. But it looks like a clip to me. And if it is - yes it happens when the planchet is puched out of the roll of coin strip.
Here's a few more pics: http://img32.photobucket.com/albums/v95/rolltide/IMG_3076.jpg http://img32.photobucket.com/albums/v95/rolltide/IMG_3072.jpg http://img32.photobucket.com/albums/v95/rolltide/IMG_3071.jpg and don't steal my identity with my fingerprint!
Well - with the new pics - afraid I'm gonna change my mind. That looks like damage that occured after it left the mint
