<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1940833, member: 15199&quot;]Jo, at this point damage after leaving the mint is by far the most likely scenario as there is no real way the date on the die doing the striking, could have been moved. Since the date is raised on the coin, it is incluse ( depressed) on the steel die that strikes the coin face. To move the depression, the number would be horribly distorted. This mainly leaves the discussion as to what caused the damage after the coin left the mint, and if it was aided by human work. For that part, a picture might help, but maybe it will remain undetermined. Don&#039;t worry about a rarity being lost <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
