[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3835283, member: 112"]One small problem with that specific coin getting those rim dings from falling into a bin at the mint,or being put into a bag at the mint - there would be no coins with reeded edges in that bin, or bag, because cents don't have reeded edges. And cents would be the only thing in that bin or bag. The only way that coin could come into contact with another coin that had reeded edges would be in circulation. And before you suggest that "it's possible" that a reeded edge coin was stuck in the bin and this coin just happened to fall onto it and get the reed marks in the rim dings that way - a cent is not heavy enough to produce rim dings that severe from falling on a larger coin - and it sure didn't fall on a stuck coin 3 times either. BUT - a larger coin with reeded edges like a dollar or half dollar - they are plenty heavy enough to produce rim dings like those if they fall on the cent ! Just like they likely could and would if the cent were in a cash drawer or change purse. But you go right ahead and believe what you want to believe. I mean after all if a TPG says it's so it has to be so doesn't it :rolleyes:[/QUOTE]
