<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 3034625, member: 84179&quot;]Go back through the CT archives and you will see numerous examples of coins that have been damaged after they left the mint.&nbsp; How many ways can a coin be damaged?&nbsp; How many Angels can fit on the head of a pin?&nbsp; IMO, it looks like the coin spent some time in an acidic environment.&nbsp; Acid and copper are not friends.</p><p><br /></p><p>The US mint makes Billions (with a B) of cents every single year.&nbsp; In addition copper is a reactive metal, so the likelihood that you&#039;ll see a lot of environmental damaged cents isn&#039;t surprising.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can assure you, that whatever you see on your coin, it happened AFTER it left the mint.&nbsp; There is NO possible way that your coin could have picked up that damage in the minting process.</p><p><br /></p><p>Stick around the CT forums and you&#039;ll pick up a lot of information about errors, how they&#039;re made, and the minting process.&nbsp; Hope this helps[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
