This is the only way it could have been created and it was not created at the mint. If this is not enough for you I&#039;m sorry to say there isn&#039;t any more explanation that can be given. Things like this do not happen at the mint. The coins are only struck with dies with incise design on them. Leaving a raised image. Errors can happen at the mint that leave an incuse design on the coin but these are caused by a capped die or a previously struck coin and are easily identifiable because the rim of the coin will show no damage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
