<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tommypski, post: 232608, member: 9020&quot;]I don&#039;t know much about error coins, as far as how they happen mechanically. I usually disregard a &quot;scratch&quot; or &quot;gouge&quot; as being a mint error. Today I found a dime with a &quot;gouge&quot; that was different from any I have seen. It is very jagged and the edges of the &quot;gouge&quot; are smooth and rounded. This same dime has the &quot;star-burst&quot; effect on it (which seems to be common)but more apparent than I have ever seen. Also some mechanical doubling on the word &quot;STATES&quot;</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; So what causes this gouge, if you guys think it&#039;s mint related, and what causes the star-burst. Sorry this picture is horrible, I have no scanner and this is the best I can do with my Macbook web cam. But you can at least see the gouge or crack through the word ONE.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
