Krzycoins Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) I call this the Franklin Sneeze. It's still in the original packaging. Would this be a error coin? Is this something I should consider grading? If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you Edited June 30, 2019 by Krzycoins Add pictures KarenHolcomb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwolper Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Krzy, It looks like post mint damage to me. How it happened, I couldn’t say. Tell Ben, bless you. Krzycoins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohawk Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) Krzy, What I think you have is some staining on your coin. Though I cannot tell you exactly what caused the stain, I'm pretty sure that's what's going on. As always, I hope that this was of at least some help to you! ~Tom Edited June 30, 2019 by Mohawk Krzycoins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 I agree with both of the above. It happened after the coin was minted so it would be considered damage. Certainly not worth getting graded. Krzycoins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Bob Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Is it still in the original mint cellophane package? My first thought was "wheel mark," but it is unlikely that this is one of those. Krzycoins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Bob Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Doubtful.Looks like a stain. Krzycoins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Quote Can it be from a damaged die , No it happened after the coin minted. Sometime between when the coin left the striking chamber and it got sent out to be packaged, something got on the coin. I have seen some pretty damaged coins that ended up getting put in sets.

As have I, especially in sets from the 1960's and 1970's. You should see some of the horrible cents I've pulled from original sealed sets from the 1960's and 1970's. The nickels can be pretty bad, too. The US Mint was actually pretty sloppy in that era. Edited July 2, 2019 by Mohawk Krzycoins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
