tj96 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 It happens, I guess. Got it directly from the Mint years ago. I was in the unopened OGP'ing for years......  until I opened it. It's like someone took a screwdriver to it. Oh well.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay. I am no professional coin expert but my take is: It was done at the Mint. Just a guess but if you say it was in OGP until you took it out what else could it be? BTW: that's the oddest* mark on a coin I've seen. *Is this a word?

Yes, there's no doubt in my mind it happened at the Mint or where ever the Mint does their packaging putting these proof sets and other Mint produces together. I could say that there is terrible quality control and all the mints. But, the Mint has done hundreds and hundreds of millions (probably trillions) of these sets and other Mint produces over the years. Problems, mistakes and errors are bound to happen.  But when you see things like these, you have to ask yourself.......is the Mint production area like a construction site?? Yes, it's a small rock or stone!!

Treeman Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Are you sure it's on the coin, and not the plastic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
