<p>[QUOTE="Neal, post: 6550750, member: 43872"]It clearly is the packaging machinery that damaged it, both front and back. But I don't think it was merely misaligned in the package when it was struck, else there would be melted plastic residue on the coin from the heat sealing process. But if it were out of a package and lying loose when struck and then simply swept into the next package, this is what you would expect. It was only nicked so that the damage may not have been noticed by the workers doing however many thousands of these an hour. Even a later inspector would not easily have caught it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
