<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LEG END, post: 1252393, member: 26139&quot;]I have noticed this small &quot;nick&#039; on first strike box coins, and sometimes the nick is not smooth. Sometimes it is irregular, and looks like the texture of a gold nugget. So I got to calling them &quot;nugget incuse&quot;, as in a gold nugget. In all the second run boxes, these were missing. A third type is a nick that looks like scrapes. It looks jagged, and I have yet to get any idea how it is created. Tomorrow I will post pics, and I believe this oddity to be on the planchet Before it leaves the manufacturer, making it definately not Post Mint Damage. I have seen the incuse struck thru this effect. At least hold onto this until the smoke clears. I also have noticed that collectors are playing their cards close to the vest, revealing very little about the Presidential coins as they are released. Apart from doubled letters and an occasional misplaced ray, not much is being given up on the coin forums about the presidential dollars. This makes them seem to be worth collecting until the dust settles on major errors. Or until the mint begins melting the rest of the vault holdings after they quit making new ones.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
