<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 3882361, member: 84179&quot;]You are taking the wrong approach trying to explain errors coins.&nbsp; You should NEVER say “I can’t explain how this damage could occur, so it must be an error”.&nbsp; You ALWAYS need to explain how it could occur in the minting and die making process.&nbsp; The minting process is well documented so if you have a good understanding, you should be able to present a reasonable explanation.&nbsp; There are an unlimited number of things that can happen to a coin after it leaves the mint, so pin pointing the <u>exact</u> cause of damage may never be possible</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As others have said, your coin could not have left the mint looking like that.&nbsp; While some may find it interesting to speculate on what caused the damage/wear, in the grand scheme of things, it really doesn’t matter because it is not an error/variety.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this helps[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
