    I fixed the pix.

    not sure about this error. It was the third coin I picked out of the first of ten OBW rolls.

    Honestly it looks damaged to me, it's hard to tell from the images but it most resembles counting-wheel damage. Something mechanically flattened the side of the 0 after the strike.

    Yeah now that I look at it thats what it looks like to me too. I just wasn't sure if it was mint or post-mint damage. Oh well, 9 more rolls to go.

    Rolling machine damage. That's all it is.
