Sorry but you are wrong. I found this picture of another coin with a defective planchet. [IMG]
Perhaps they stopped using the die after it happened?
What makes you an expert? The coin dealer I saw has been in business since the 1980's.
Planchet was what he probably said instead of die.
I brought the coin to an expert today who said what is on the back of the coin is not damage but is caused from a defective die striking the coin.
I did try to find more information but I was unable to find anything.
There is no need to be sarcastic. I'm sorry you have trouble with someone disagreeing with you.
I don't know what it is but to me it doesn't appear to be damage.
The pictures here are of the coin from the ad. I don't have a camera or the equipment to take a picture of the coin. The slab doesn't say...
The label on the holder doesn't say damage. If it was damage I would think it would look shinier than the rest of the coin. It looks too smooth...
A coin I own graded MS63 by PCGS has what looks like a defect on the rim on the back of the coin. Is this a minor clip on the coin or is it...
Here is another one I can't figure out. It looks like it has a nice displaced field on the back around the word United. [IMG] [IMG]
You are right! I kept looking for the die crack going up from the 2 to the curls but it was left off on the die break guide. I wonder what that...
This has me baffled. I have tried looking at the die crack break guides on VAM World and I can't find which VAM is this coin. Does anyone know?...
Never mind. I just found it. It is a VAM-3BM. It is not listed under the die break guides but I found it under the scribbling varieties.
Does anyone know which VAM is this coin? It reminds me a little of a VAM-3F4 but that is not what it is. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
A couple things made me wonder if this is a JOH-23. One is the die crack going down from the M in UNUM seems to be coming down from further...
I can't match up the die cracks on the coin with any of the coins in the die crack guide. Does anyone know which VAM is the coin? I thought...
I thought the same thing about the grade when I saw the coin but the coin did not cost a lot of money which is why I bought it.
The scratches you are seeing are die scratches which are from the dies of the coin when the dies were polished and did not happen after the coin...
