Hi im new at collecting so bear with me. I think this is post mint but i have to ask because i have never seen a coin look like this until today .Thanks in advance
I'm glad that you only asked what it is.. and not how much it could be worth. Some new collectors are concerned about value first thinking they have a high value Mint Error. As stated, it is just damage And.. If you found it in a coin roll most likely somone wanted to get rid of it
Bring it back to the bank as "mutilated change". They are supposed to give you a quarter for it. I do metal detecting, so I bring in all my mutilated coins at the end of the year. So far I have not had any problems with it. (They do put it in my checking account though, they don't give me coin for it.)
The mint had suspended that program, but it has been resumed. https://www.usmint.gov/news/press-r...int-resumes-mutilated-coin-redemption-program https://www.coinworld.com/news/us-c...umption-of-mutilated-coin-redemption.all.html https://www.wastedive.com/news/us-m...oin-program-after-years-of-suspension/513739/
Thanks for the update. I knew when they settled their lawsuit with the guy redeeming them they indicated they might be restarting it but I was not aware they had made that announcement. You will notice though that they use future tense in their language. They are going to restart it, not that they HAVE restarted it. And from the last link (also the Mints announcement was only three weeks ago.) This was also interesting So you can't redeem more than a pound at a time. No wait they are wrong, per the Mint site you can't redeem LESS than a pound. And they have to be sorted by denomination/alloy. (Except cents, BUT if they are unsorted by alloy you get redemption at $1.46 per pound. Sorted Zincolns get redeemed at $1.81 per pound.)
Did anyone look into this “Final Decision “ info? Might have some fun with this if you are interested in these types of releases....... https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-20...m_source=federalregister.gov&utm_medium=email
