<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 4409036, member: 84179&quot;]You should never conclude that a coin is an error because you can&#039;t explain how the damage occurred.&nbsp; There are innumerable ways for a coin to suffer damage. </p><p><br /></p><p>You always want to explain the anomaly in terms of the minting and die making process.&nbsp; How could this have occurred at the mint.&nbsp; The process is well documented and understood, and many members including some that answered your question are very knowledgeable in this area.</p><p><br /></p><p>As you research and study the minting process, it will become apparent that your coin could not have left the mint looking like that.&nbsp; That&#039;s why other members said it&#039;s just damaged.&nbsp; It sounds like the dealer doesn&#039;t have a good understanding of the minting process if he offered you $5 for it.&nbsp; Lack of knowledge can be costly, although in this case he would only be out $4.99.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this helps[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
