<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JBK, post: 214783, member: 1101&quot;]This seems to be getting out of hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>We use the term &quot;post Mint damage&quot; very often, but what we really mean is &quot;post strike&quot;.&nbsp; Those nasty edge gouges were made after the coin was struck and lettered.&nbsp; If it happened a split second afterward or a year afterward, it is just damage nonetheless. </p><p><br /></p><p>The main issue here is, could this damage be proven to have been caused at the Mint?&nbsp; If the same damage could be caused outside of the Mint, then the damage - even if caused by mint machines - has no value since it could be easily faked.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, it is not up to people here to prove that it isn&#039;t mint damage, it is up to those who claim that it is an error to prove beyond any shadow of a doubt that it is mint damage.&nbsp; Based on the fact that the damage occurred after the minting process, it could never, in my mind, be proven to be an error. </p><p><br /></p><p>Lastly, with the involvement of outside companies to roll the coins, I don&#039;t see any reliable way to ensure that the mint caused it.&nbsp; And besides, as long as an&nbsp; &quot;error&quot; can be exactly recreated outside of the mint, then it is not worth debating.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
