Looks to me like it spent a lot of time spinning around in a coin sorter/roller.


I'm not going to debate this any farther than to sat is looks like a Zincoln that got stuck in a clothes drier.

If the OP thinks it's a type of mint damage that has never been seen before in millions of hours of collective coin examination, I would suggest that a $30 or so investment in TPG would give him an opportunity to rub our noses in it if they agree.

I will not slab it until I am ninety percent sure before I run the risk of it being confiscated and destroyed.
FYI, they like to do that from time to time, the mint is funny in that way.


The mint has nothing to do with slobbing,it will not be confiscated, it's already been destroyed, the grade is poor, unidentifiable by date.
Rest in Peace

Unless you sand the letters off first, you will have letters to the edge. Pointing out that the letters still going all the way to the edge proves nothing. The flat surface and the raised letters wear down at about the same rate.

The coin has major areas that are damaged on both sides even before you start looking at the lack of metal. It's a P-01 and as far as not having scrap [sic] marks or brushing? The whole of the edge is just that. You're off on another "Fact", but I'm sure you just made a typo. The coin has lost .3 grams of weight. Not 3 grams as you pointed out in "Fact 1."

All I see is PMD on a damaged coin. I think Yankee has it. It's just eroded.
