I dunno what do you think?

I got this in change today. Any idea as to what may have caused it?

Errors are NOT my strong point although I do dabble in them. Probably a simple explanation.

If not, as in it's really complicated, should I put fingerprints all over it and sell it as a double error? I've seen worse on ebay.

That looks like damage from a coin rolling machine, that puts coins in paper rolls.

 

yup, from the rolling machine

 

Yep, what they said.

 

OK,

3 say the same thing and I DID NOT tamper with this coin. Therefore it is a rare POST-MINT error!

Shall we pick a title so I can put it up on ebay and then have someone here post it and make fun of it?

i hate those marks those machines put on coins. i have a 1939 jefferson nickel with the same damage.

 

Here we go:

Ultra-Rare! 2007 D Post mint Post Mint Counting Strike.

In an unusual move the mint managed to produce this perfect coin, without any original problems or defects.
However, fate intervened before I was able to obtain this choice piece.
Amazingly, while moving thru the rotors of a counter the esteemed company, Brinks, managed to produce the attached coin.
I have been informed that this is now the government's way of tracking our money.
They are using this for the sole purpose of see if you have any unreported income and/or if you are a drug dealer.
Bid today on this piece of history. It has it all: rarity, governmental intrusion and conspiracy. Who knows, if JFK hadn't been assassinated he have have held this very coin.

Opening Bid: $.01
Shipping & Handling & Insurance: $1,235.00

 

Now that's tempting!

Wonder if feepay would yank it?

 

nah, just reduce the postage & handling, POSSIBLY too high.

 

Back many years ago there was a small dime bank like the one here, http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-METAL-TUBE-DIME-BANK_W0QQitemZ320141170962QQihZ011QQcategoryZ886QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem


Now these special little banks would make a coin like this have the special little ring around the center of it. Try putting a year set of these together if you want a real challenge. I know of someone who has a complete set of Mercs like this. INC, the 16D. Took decades to assemble.

 

Jim:
Thank you!
I have been looking for that coin holder for, well for years!
Thanks a bunch.

I think it should be listed as communication from aliens.
Bellow out a big spiel about being related to crop circles and such.
LOL

 

LOL?

What is funny about that?
We all know that the aliens communicate with us in unusual ways!
Just because they use old silver coins is no reason to laugh at the aliens!
They know the true value of $.

(Okay, so I am just kidding and it is funny.)
