Re: Mint Errors
Looks like it was hit with something pointy hard? Not a mint error as indicated by the bump on the reverse of the coin.

Re: Mint Errors
It was impacted with something hard on the obverse so this is post mint damaged. A die break would only be on one side, coins are struck with an obverse and reverse die.

Hey D, I recognize that mark, BB shot from a high powered air rifle, not a red rider, but like a Gamo or high end Crossman, as a kid we used to do this all the time

Re: Mint Errors
As Coin Mule said...a better BB gun.
Coin Mule and I didn't know one another as kids, so we both remember seeing these all the time when we would not frequently get together and shoot our coins for fun. There are a lot of other good memories neither of us have from the times we didn't spend together with slingshots, shooting arrows, fishing, etc. as well.
