<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2090200, member: 26302&quot;]Always remember the mint is a giant factory. As such, tons of stuff can happen at the mint after a coin is struck. When we say post mint damage, that is actually wrong. What we mean is post strike damage. If a coin is damaged at the mint after its struck, that does not make it a mint(ing) error, it makes it a post striking damage.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have never liked the phrase post mint damage, preferring post strike damage, or post minting damage, because this describes what we really mean.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Btw, the same thing I describe on the low points around the rim is also true in front of his chin. There is a spot where no mark occurs, which makes sense if it is a post minting scratch, but not if it was a die crack.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
