Shame on them! Definitely hammered a few times, roughness on LIBERTY is a concrete floor Edited by Crazyb0 12/11/2017 12:07 am Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 12/11/2017 12:27 am Yep, it is just damage, intentional or not. I can't say right off what the cause was but, I agree with Crazyb0 that the obverse damage around LIBERTY resembles a concrete floor, parking lot, cinder block, etc. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020 In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020 In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024 Edited by spru 12/11/2017 12:28 am Report this Post to the Staff

It certainly looks like intentional damage as opposed to a counterstamp with some advertising or other purpose. I'm not sure what specific tool or object was hammered into the rev of this coin. As a Wheat cent, this coin would be worth a few cents, but this damage drops that back pretty close to face value.
