<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 3309240, member: 31533&quot;]The &#039;crown&#039; is a bag mark, as it was caused by the reeded edge of another coin. When metal is displaced, it has to go somewhere. Sometimes it goes into a &#039;buildup&#039; of metal on the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some say that it is damaged because of this, but I don&#039;t know that it would be held against the coin. If this type of bag mark was on a quarter it would not because it could easily have occurred in the mint hopper or shipping coins out in bags. Perhaps with it on a cent, where the cent has no reeded edge, it will be seen as damage outside the mint, since it should not have happened in the mint or in shipping cents out of the mint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
