<p>[QUOTE=&quot;toned_morgan, post: 3458641, member: 97258&quot;]Welcome to the hobby Chip!</p><p><br /></p><p>All of these are just damage caused by many things. The circle barely inside the rim is created when the coin machine counts the coins, and it can also be created when the crimping machine rolls the coins into rolls but does it too tight, so it cuts a &quot;ring&quot; into the coins on the ends. The &quot;extra metal&quot; you referred to is just scratches. However, if it were actually extra metal it would be called a die break. This is when a piece of the die literally breaks off and leaves a space where the metal is not compressed, so it stays elevated. This &quot;extra metal&quot; can also be made by a struck through error. This is self explanatory... The coin is struck, but something gets in the way, and it is imprinted onto the coin. This can be struck through grease from a worker&#039;s fingers, struck through cloth from a worker&#039;s shirt or something, struck through hair, struck through tape, and even sometimes struck through weird things like nails, paperclips, other coins, and wood. Don&#039;t be afraid to ask the community, because it wouldn&#039;t be fun to be confused about what type of error a coin has.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
