What would you call this type of damage? Ebay item number 190819324063. Cant link from a iphone. Or is it an error of sorts
Family, kids, coins, sports (playing not watching), jet skiing, wakeboarding, Big Air....no one ever got hurt in the air....its the sudden stop that hurts. I hate Hurricane Sandy. I hate FEMA and i hate the blasted insurance companies.

    Not sure, if it were out of the package I would say post mint damage but since it is still in the package I would say post mint damage at the mint then threw back in the hopper.

    Not sure really,

    Very Simple -

    The dime was in the 'lower' section of that
    pocket when the sealing machine came down.
    (it was overlapping low, where the grid design
    would seal itself)

    You can see damage/split in the plastic at
    the bottom of the dime - the Dime got the
    damage from the Heat Sealing Shoe, and the
    dime's rim 'cut' the plastic.

    It's post-minting damge for the coin, and
    concurrant damage in the packaging process.

    Not an error coin or package of any type.

    Crud....and i thought it was worth a million bajillion dollars. Heck, I would take a million pesos at this point.

    It's still worth face value! image

    As FredWeinberg mentioned it's not a collectable error but just damage.

    This is actually the kind of set that upon receiving you contact the mint for an exchange.
