<p>[QUOTE="n_sandler4, post: 214814, member: 5433"]Perhaps I should clarify. You are indeed correct about all of the situations in which a coin should be considered damaged.

Doug, according to your definition of what a mint error is, I believe these should indeed be classified as an error, simply due to the fact that these are being found with the damage in the same location.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is fun isn't it?
