German 1 Euro Coin (2002) – Possible Die Chip or Mint Error

1 post • viewed 224 times

Hello!
I found this German 1 euro coin from 2002 in circulation and noticed an unusual raised bump or extra metal formation on the eagle’s claw (right side). It doesn't look like regular wear or damage – more like a possible die chip or minting defect.

Year: 2002

Country: Germany

Denomination: 1 Euro

Condition: Circulated, VF

Observed anomaly: Raised area on claw, looks like extra metal


Has anyone seen this before? Could this be considered a mint error? Any idea on estimated value?

Thanks in advance!
