<p>[QUOTE="Kasia, post: 11075688, member: 31533"]Keep it. For 25c, it's totally worth your while to study that coin and figure out how that damage was done. Think of it this way, if you have a book that shows dog-ears, water stains, wrinkled paper and tire marks on it, you might want to know that those are all caused as damage due to being run-over, handled badly with people (deliberate) and perhaps being soaked with water, none of which will ever be considered a part of how that book was printed or bound. Similar with coins, in that post-mint damage is not part of the minting process or in transporting to being rolled or sent out (i.e., contact marks made by coins hitting each other during certain procedures in getting the coins from the die to out of the mint). Once you can recognize damage right away you will be half way to recognizing non-damage and errors or varieties.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
