Looks like someone placed 2 cents between two boards and hit them with a hammer. Thus just the rim made contact with the obverse. PSD

Some have asked about my images I use and I've glad to say I've completed a DVD of these. Ask if you are interested.

I, for one, do not see any effect of the supposed 'damage' on the reverse of this coin. Could you point it out Coop?

If a sandwich job why didn't the "hit" go all the way around the obverse. I'm guessing a feeder problem. The rim has been scraped upwards.

I just see too small of a picture for me to make an assessment....

however...from what I can see...I could duplicate that with a metal pipe and a penny on a concrete floor

It looks like post-strike damage to me. The reverse face might have been cushioned by a relatively soft surface.
