It is post mint damage. No value other than face.

Definitely looks like damage and not as minted.

The coin was "holed" then filled.

I thought that at first, then looked at the "H" within, also Kennedy's hair and the "B". Surely someone didn't go through the trouble for a clad 76.

It was hacked with a hole punch.It cut the circle but did not deface the area inside the circle.

Not an expert by any means but could this be a counterstamp that just didn't have any design or details?

An object had to be somehow imbedded into this coin
from the obverse side. Not sure how but ?
I also see what may be lettering in relief around the edge of the object (obv.) at between 2 and 3 p.m.
I would think if a struck through debris then there would be weakness on the other areas of the coin.

This coin is not an error. It has been damaged.

PMD with a paper hole puncher. Some hole punchers have their cutting edge around the circumference of the punch which would give the effect you see with the hair, H and B.

After many attempts to duplicate this anomaly, this must have happened prior to the strike. The the "B" and "hair" gets rubbed out with each tool I use for the punch. Additionally, the rim on the obverse, within the "punched area", could not have slid this way, so it must have been struck over this "punched" area. And still, what made the striations on the obverse? I have had it under my digital microscope, and they just don't match up with the rest of the coin, and because this area is recessed, it was not polished by the striking of the coin.
Then again -- I could be wrong.
LOL tgauchin, try using a paper hole puncher on a coin -- my father in-law has a machine shop and his hydraulic press was needed.

Sorry but trying to dublicate this is useless. The key is to learn the minting process and what happens when a coin is struck. The damage to the rim is a clue to the PMD. Edited by pyrbob
