Thanks for all the replies. I'll try to take better pics. so the gouges (yes I meant gouges), I'll try and give you the same explanation that I got from the coin dealer. I assumed the egde was damage. From what Ii was told, if someone or something post mint caused the edges, there would be damage somewhere in the other end of the edge or within that proximity. The error was caused by the what indents the reeds. Because if you observe the entire edge you'd see smoothing of the edge and a few other oddities on the edge meaning, whatever indents the reeds in the coin. I was given the the name of what puts those reeds ok on coins. Sorry forgot what the guys said that was called. I'm a total newb so I do apologize for the ignorance. The explanation made sense. Of course I'm a newb so It made a little sense. I'll send a few more quality pics. I'd like some feed back on the doubling and the die crack. Thanks again
