Look at the right side of the mm.&nbsp; The displaced metal and flattened appearance tell you the area was hit.&nbsp; Always look at the whole area when trying formulate an explanation.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been an active collector for decades, and have probably looked at 99% of the change that passed through my hands plus searched countless rolls when I was younger.&nbsp; You would be amazed at innumerable ways a coin can be damaged.</p><p><br /></p><p>Something else to remember when trying to determine if a coin is an error.&nbsp; Never say &quot;it must be an error because I can&#039;t explain how the damage could look that way&quot;.&nbsp; Always try to explain how it could occur during the minting process.&nbsp; If it can&#039;t happen at The mint, it can&#039;t be an error/variety.&nbsp; The minting and die making processes are well documented but it&nbsp; takes some time and effort to learn it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
