<p>[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 9923412, member: 4920"]I have to say I'm feeling better about my theory after reading this discussion. Take another look at this. Look at how the arc of the damage is aligned with the arc of the perimeter of the coin, or the denticles. Were this a "gang punch" struck over denticles, one would expect that alignment. Why aren't there more? Well, do we know there aren't more? No. Do we know the Mint didn't catch it and stop it and destroy the run repurposing the metal for a better run? No. All I know is I'd be sending this to Rick Snow. I'd be emailing him these pictures and see if he wants to see it. You boys should read this discussion [USER=19165]@physics-fan3.14[/USER] linked to. These date-punches damage just like dies do. This anomaly I still think is struck-through denticles from a low date-punch employed subsequently to date-punch this die. There's enough here suggesting this is the punch that sustained the damage, not the die. Send Rick these pictures. Get that opinion on it, that's what I'd do.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1522922[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
