[QUOTE="The_Cave_Troll, post: 52603, member: 1674"]I pulled this 1990D half out of a roll yesterday and it has what loks like "train track" marks along it. I spent an hour last night trying to figure out if it was damage or a minting error. [IMG]http://www.freepichosting.com/Thumbs/421608790/15/600/450.jpg[/IMG] It appears that the ruts run under the 9 and 0 but both numbers are disfigured some and I can't tell for certain if the disfigurement came from a damaged planchet being struck or if the damage occurred after the coin left the mint. When I first looked at it my thought was that it was damage from a neddle-nosed pliers type of tool, but there is no damage on the reverse of the coin, so if it is just post-mint damage, then how did it get on the front only? Anybody have any ideas what could have caused this? thanks, CJD[/QUOTE]
