Here, give these a goin' over...

Georgems65 · January 1, 2011 4:24AM

do you have any info on the value of the coin or how it was caused?

kurtdog · January 1, 2011 4:32AM

These aren't mint errors. They're hits from a machine. I believe a rolling machine.

If similar to the ones that kurtdog posted pics of..... no additional value as this is post mint damage.

As mentioned, it's damaged from
a counting/rolling machine......

You can see the leftover metal
where the slanted "1" came from....

Fred, notice how the angles of displacement on these are relatively uniform. I think when I write my book on post-mint counting and rolling machine damage, I'm going to include these in my top 100.

So frequently, non numismatists will find PMD and believe they have a valuable error. And just try talking them out of it. Wow. Cheers, RickO
