OK thx

Weight 3.6 

Is this the close am 1993? Aren't they supposed to be wide am?

Thoughts in this coin and the 2 damage areas?

No way to read the date. Should I try soaking in water?

A number of things could have caused this damage, there is no way to be sure what caused the damage.   What is clear is that this is post mint damage and not an error.

That's really sad because the coins in pretty good shape other than that

Not sure if it's filed this is a magnified picture of it

Oh ok too much to remember 😂

Is this coin to damaged to have it graded? Isn't the 1992 supposed to be close am?

This time has a hole in the center but it doesn't go all the way through. Across this before?

Maybe 1993 or 1983. What causes this in coins? 

The ear looks off and the tone. I'm not sure if the rest of the damage is parking lot damage or what but any thoughts?

So do we think this is worth having graded and try to sell on an auction or is it just a collector coin for rare errors? I haven't seen many coins that have feeder damage  all over the entire back has anyone else?

Could this possibly be feeder finger er ror over the whole reverse side?

This is under the scope. It's in the color not over the top of letters

You would think if this is after strike damage, the words and date would have the same lines, but they look clean. The outline of the U.S. also looks clean as was said earlier. The rim of the coin is also fairly clean. 

That's what struck my interest. I would think if it was scrape damage it would be gouges in the letters.

Lets play a little game. This game helps both of us learn, I call the game What.

We ask each other questions about the coin how, why or what.

L will start

What does the face of the die that struck this coin look like?

It looks to me like an end piece of metal and those are definitely saw marks where the piece was cut so i definitely would say in my opinion you may have a legitimate error coin. Its like if you had a piece of rolled steel and you cut it to size with a saw blade your left with those exact marks 

Oh that's really cool if so how exciting if that's the case! Thx for the thoughts and opinions

It's definitely an interesting piece. Has me wondering what could do this to a coin. But I'm super new so I don't know a lot about the errors just yet

I posted pictures of this before I got my microscope in. Now that it's under the scope do you think this is an error or just damaged it's a very odd circular swirl in the center of the back.
