<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 3188419, member: 69760&quot;]What if the manufacturer made multiple versions, one as-is, another with a hole in it for a necklace, etc.?</p><p><br /></p><p>And, it looks like NGC didn&#039;t make a mistake per se, since they do this consistently with other medals from era exposition events (image below).</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess if the Minter did it, then it&#039;s not technically <i>Post</i> Mint Damage but Damage by the Mint.
