[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 4232175, member: 77814"]coin grading goes up to 70, not 100. Thus you won't see a 100 nor a 71. more info ==> [URL]https://www.pcgs.com/grades[/URL] If you think it's mangled, more than likely it occurred after the coin was made. Coins are made in an assembly line, thus they are all made the same and look the same. Knowing about the Assembly Line process, or minting process, is key to understanding what can and what surely cannot be a minting error. But the MINT uses the dies until they are destroyed, so the dies wear out and start looking weird, just like if you were to use your car tires way past time to replace them as the tread wears thin and starts breaking down. Of course, after it leaves the assembly line anything, and we mean *anything* can happen to the coin to damage it. Imagine if you had to carry coin insurance like you do with a car to make sure it is kept in perfect shape like a Leased car has to be before turning it in to the next person.
