Now that is pretty cool. Most likely altered, but hope not.  |

Is the other side smashed? If so it is probably been squeezed on a vise. The marks were probably part of the vises design.

I think the Cent we see here in pics was pressed into something for the most part even. PMD. I would be surprised if it was anything different. |

so on the obverse there is some of the design in the middle and then the rest around the edge most of which being near the top. none of the rest of the higher points are damaged and there's nothing on the flat, lower level of it either but yet it looks like something was (pressed) onto it. Its also really strange its not bent, thanks for posting the side of it. Whatever was pressed into it was not pressed into it hard from what I can see but still somehow enough to make the design in that strange configuration of places... and then the reverse is flawless.   Maybe what did this was like a metal net but instead of having squares in it like most other nets it had diamonds shapes in it, a metal diamond shaped net. That would explain why some places are not effected. This net type thing I'mtalking about is actually used for constructing houses kind of like rebar but for something else. Edited by Normic67

The side pic of the coin,from what I see it does look a bit uneven and wavy. Not much but it is off/not strait. The countless ways this could happen are endless and you can count on a Human that had some part in this.

I don't think there's any way that could have happened at the Mint. Looks like PMD for sure. I still think that a vice was involved somehow. |
