theseeker77 New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 03/21/2018 10:08 pm Hello All, It has been quite a while since I have been on the forum. I finally took some PTO and decided to go through my jars of pocket change. I noticed this penny felt thinner on the bottom right edge than the rest of the coin. Then I looked closer and the top half of the coin looked like it was struck on the rim. I would love for you all to take a look and hear what you think about it. * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 03/22/2018 4:03 pm Unfortunately no because MAD's are actually quite common. If you get a few rolls of coins and go through them you'll probably find several. Edited by Conder101 03/22/2018 4:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/23/2018 3:28 pm If the die was tilted, it allows the metal to flow between the collar and the die, creating a fin like John1 mentioned. More of a premium if these are thin and sharp. But most of the time when they are found in circulation, they are already flattened like your coin. Report this Post to the Staff
