Postby coincrazy » Mon Aug 29, 2022 3:17 pm

Sorted pennies this weekend and came across a couple damaged coins. Are these damaged in circulation or could they be mint errors :?:

Better familiarization with the minting process will rule out the most obvious post-mint-damge coins you come across. 8-)

Agree that this is likely circulation damage.
Former stock broker w/ ~20 yrs. at one company. Spoke with 100k+ people and traded a lot (long, short, options, margin, extended hours, etc.).

Please note that ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- sometimes substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) as well.

Damage? That is clearly elder abuse against a dead President.
