Possible confirmation of mint damage W/V75 Tallgrass

So, take a look at both the pictures. Who would guess they could be the same coin?

They're not. The one circled red is from an eBay search. The other one (yellow) is mine.

Does anyone see what I'm seeing? Does this constitute mint damage and shouldn't that add value?

I wouldn't pay anything extra for it.

 

It looks like an indentation of some kind, categorized as post-mint damage (PMD) and as such does not mean more value. In fact, it means the opposite.

 

A die could not have created that unless it was designed as such.

Post minting damage. Any damage reduces value unless it was done in the act of striking.

Very interesting but IMO, of very little if any extra value. For example, I'd pay less than $4. A die did not do that and my guess it is NOT PMD! I would guess the planchet was defective. The surface of the indentation is the key to this and I cannot tell for 100% certainty from your image.

 

I don't think they're in the same spot.

 

MD( Mint damage), No added value in My opinion.

 

Welcome to CT @Adrean B Westling
I believe it is just PMD, from a coin hitting in the same location on both coins. Bag marks on other areas, look the same. No matter, NAV (No Added Value), IMHO.

 

Sorry, PMD in my opinion. Thanks for sharing, good luck, and welcome to CT.

 

It's indented quite a bit with a punch through on the other side. From what I can also see it causes the two break lines in the leaf 90° at the indent.

Also, it causes a punch through and pimple on the chin of Washington on the other side.

Bag damage can't cause this at all, especially exact location.

I've seen regular tallgrass and it's not part of the design.

 

If the factory dings your new vehicle on its way out the door, so you feel like paying more for it?

If the ding caused the car to miraculously show signs it doubled, I'm sure the car company would want to profit off it yes.

 

Like rebadging a Hyundai to resemble a Lexus.

 

Looks like PMD over an area of a defective planchet.

 

@Adrean B Westling welcome to CT.

This debate can be settled very easily. Submit the coin in question to a TPG and have it attributed and if you're so inclined, graded.

Best of luck with it either way.

 

Adrean, It is important to place in the original posting to photos to show the Obverse and Reverse completely ( as there is no/value doubling ) usually machine problems ) as well as value doubling ( where the die itself was doubled in its making ) possible value ~~ usually not in the modern "single squeeze" era. I am very sure it is machine problems, but cant be positive without the faces. Good Luck,

Jim
