<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikediamond, post: 141735, member: 1859&quot;]This appears to be post-strike mint damage.&nbsp; Coins can get horribly damaged inside the Mint between striking and bagging.&nbsp; Unfortunately, post-strike mint damage is no more valuable than damage that occurs outside the mint.&nbsp; Examine the rim on the obverse face directly across from the defect.&nbsp; If it shows weakness, then I would immediately change my assessment to pre-strike damage.&nbsp; A strong design rim in this area would confirm the diagnosis of post-strike damage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
