<p>[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 345562, member: 4920"]I know, I know, you're all laughing. But that's why I didn't post this in Error Coins. It is kind of a joke. I mean neither can I understand how the girl at the McDonald's drive up window yesterday who gave me this coin in change didn't catch this. Surely I don't expect the average teenager to know these are the stars the Mint uses to mark the anvil dies they decide they're going to use (they use red stars to mark the hammer dies), and, what obviously happened in this case is the Mint employee just forgot to remove it before he or she affixed the die to the machine, and it stuck to the first planchet the die struck! But ya know, you'd at least expect she'd be bright enough to know she's got something unusual, if not valuable, here. But hey, her loss and my gain; what can I say? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
