<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 78299, member: 39&quot;]Yes, these pieces are &quot;damaged&quot; on purpose - but why does the US Mint do that? Because they are error pieces.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> In much of Europe the same thing was done with millions of pre-euro coins a few years ago. These pieces had no flaw but were simply &quot;cancelled&quot; before selling them as scrap metal. With the US waffle coins that is different.</p><p><br /></p><p>(Which is also why cancelled pieces are much less expensive here. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Guess I would not pay $30 or so for such a piece, but €1 is not quite that bad ...)</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
