2018-P Innovation Dollar With Mint Damage

PipestonePete

I received a $100 coin bag of the Philadelphia Innovation Dollars yesterday. Today I went through the coins and found this dollar.
The obvers has abrasions on the left and right side rims and the reverse has two major hits which have peeled back the outer manganese brass shell.

Looks like a struck on a defective planchet error that then got stuck in a sorting / counting machine which damaged the coin.

Yowza! Now that's innovative. Mint-created post mint damage. It cuts out the middleman, and the parking lot. Very efficient.

There was a presidential dollar issue that saw a lot if major edge dings like the one on yours. You did not post pics of the edge do I can't really see the peeled back effect you mention. Is the edge lettering normal?

I remember getting a good look at the edge lettering machine when I got a floor tour of the Philadelphia Mint back in 2009, and there was nothing in or after that which should cause this. Of course, those were going uncounted into a ballistic bag.
These coins bagged for small bag sales must have gone into the old-style hoppers first, and then into an old-style counting machine, which was probably where the damage occurred.

MS70 for sure!

@PipestonePete Nice! What was the time and date stamp on the box that the bag came in?

That would not matter as it is a one of a kind planchet flaw.

Would be interesting, but probabky impossible to track it back to the planchet strip or any other identifying source.

Just curious. Went through a bag of mine and typical bag marks. 6 Dec 18/03:00:42 - P bag

Thanks and Merry Christmas.

Never even knew those existed.

You scored on that one!

I have a dollar with a skip in the edge lettering that has a similar effect on the edge where it got stuck and the edge ground down. (Mine unfortunately doesn't have the planchet issues).

That coin certainly took some punishment.... all over...Cheers, RickO
