Crazy, I gotta disagree. That placement would be extreeeemly coincidental, I think...

NM, Not in mixed bags of collected coins from banks, CoinStars and whatnots....all the banging and bouncing with massive weights, a well placed hit is quite possible. Now this one, with the wear, it may pre-date a coinstar operation but definitely not a small bank that used to send their mix to be counted either by it's parent or the Fed Depository.
I'm fairly certain that is a reeded phenomenon. That COULD NOT have come from a Cent stamping chamber since the collars are flat. The only other scenario I could even imagine has a reeded coin entering the strike chamber, a very high improbability. And besides, the die metal is harder than the planchet/coin would be to make an affect on a die like that.

I still feel strongly, looking at this coin, that it absolutely had to have happened when it was struck.

Only if you consider knowledge valuable... (I kid) Keep it as a reminder. Monetarily, I would think not much, if any at all. *BUT* some folks might like 'em! My daughter once sold a shrinky dink on ebay for 26 bucks, true story. |

Electrician, can you post a photo of the entire coin, obverse, so I can explain to Crazy what happened to it during striking and why it didn't come from a reeded coin?

I don't know what caused this but Ive seen some precision hits on coins that you might think only a machine could do..
This one looks very suspicious

Electrician, thanks for the additional pics. This is a very minor and partial Ridge Ring.. like I mentioned earlier, it occurs at the striking. The blame can be put on a deteriorating die, the flow of metal and the copper plating. It's pretty common. As far as a premium, I can't say as I've never seen one sold. Or a quarter that was in a coin bag that was buried under other bags on the back of a truck that happened to precisely line it's self up exactly with the W on that penny just as the truck rode over a speed bump imprinting a reeded edge and mashing that W downwards as it is now... I think I got that right, Crazy? Electrician, happy hunting! You have a sharp eye, keep it open. |

Or a coin counter may have damaged it. The metal looks pushed inwards?
