<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ziggy9, post: 753369, member: 8360&quot;]I don&#039;t think how this got out of the mint is that big of a mystery. The nine strikes that caused this would have happened in a few seconds and then the piece came off the die of its own accord, as is evident by the frct that there are no pry marks on the piece from trying to remove it from the die. It then ended up in the large bag at the end of the run. This wouldn&#039;t be discovered until the bag of cents was sent through the rolling machine at String &amp; sons, Brinks or whoever else might have done the initial rolling. At that point it was found by someone that was not a government employee and not under the threat of losing a gov&#039;t job for taking it. Having an error from the mint is nothing like possessing coins that the government insists were never issued.</p><p><br /></p><p>Richard[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
