<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1699527, member: 26302&quot;]Yes. If it truly happened at the mint, the cent would not have the design impressed on it if something was in the striking chamber. OP, if a washer got in between the cent and the die, how could the die have struck the coin? Answer is that it wouldn&#039;t, and you would see part of the coin struck, and the other part with just an impression of the &quot;thing&quot; that got in the way. Actually, a steel washer would pretty much destroy a cent planchet. This is why we can tell you we are relatively certain this damage was done after the cent was struck, which makes it not a mint error but a damaged coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
