I love and appreciate everyone's ideas and now I'm even more curious to get to the bottom of what really happened with this coin. Who or where should I turn to that can give a good look in person to give an expert opinion? Do I search on Google for local coin experts or PCGS authorized dealers to send it off for authenticating? Basically is this coin valuable enough to have it authenticated or should I just keep it for the fun of this hobby?

That's a judgement call that only you can make. ANACS is probably the least expensive attributer. You can contact them and see how much they'd charge, then weigh it against what you think the coin is worth.

Or call Mike Diamond on this one before going to an expense?

I was going to buy a very similar coin on ebay and posted it. Y'all said definitely not an error. I'll see if I can find the post. The reverse was nearly identical. |

There were no foreign coins of appropriate diameter and composition struck in Philadelphia in 1969. Denver on the other hand did strike coins of the appropriate diameter and composition, but I see no way for one of the planchets to get the Philadelphia.

I contacted Mike Diamond and he said it was trimmed by a hollow punch. I could not find much info about this technique being used on coins so if anyone has some great info on hollow punches coins I'd love to know

If he said it was trimmed by a hollow punch I believe he is inferring that it was done after it left the mint which would make it PSD/PMD A damaged coin. Someone correct me if I'm misinterpreting .

The coin was cut with a round cutter that was slight smaller. Note the reverse? It is where the cutter was applied. The obverse is where it ended. So the reverse had a rounded edge, but the obverse has the squared edges from being altered. It would be like a coin blank. Smooth on one side and blunt on the opposite side. PSD |

It's Post Strike Damage as mentioned, worth face value, but you can keep it if you'd like. You can put it in your "Oddball" collection.

Coop, I've seen those cutout metal slugs before. I would see them a lot at school.

This one is a small one. Smaller than a dime? Must have been on something electrical. But not a removeable tab type.

Looks like they were grinding it to use in a coke machine
