Morgan and Kennedy Error Help Needed

[TetonWarrior]

I recent picked up this coins recently and trying to find out more about the error.

 

This Morgan has what looks to be a die punch in the denticle on the Reverse side above the A in States. I showed it to a few dealer at a Chicago show recently and some thought it was a die error while other thought it was a drill mark. The punch/hole is angled and not straight on. I discount the drill hole theory because the hole is on the denticle and not a flat surface, plus it does not go through the coin.

 

I would like some help determining what I have here other then a VAM 202A.

5/32 drill bit...the augured up metal is still attached to the surface around the hole.

 

Well, that's my guess.

Whatever it is, it looks to be Post-Mint Damage to my eye.

[Coindude]

I believe it to be post mint damage as well.

I believe post mint damage also. Over time I would think the raised metal would have been worn down or knocked off after many years.

I don't see anything in the minting process causing that. The feeder machines will cause rim burrs, but that's no rim burr.

It's definitely PMD, but you would need better photos to have it attributed unless, of course, that person is messydesk. I understand that he can attribute them in the dark without a loupe.

Sorry but it is most likely just a drill hole.

[Coindude]

It's absolutely, positively, definitely, without a doubt Post Mint Damage... in my opinion.

Thanks everyone!

I don't think it's a drill hole, just an impact with a pointed object. In any case it is PMD.
