Sorry about all the posts this weekend but I have been going through all of the LMC's I have just recently combed through and found a bunch of amazing pieces. What in the world is this one? I've ruled out construction cutting tools, had it must have been pressed to form this.   thanks everyone appreciate your help! Edited by Kman

Just looks like post-mint damage to me.

Well, I agree that it is PMD but I'm always curious about these oddities. It's a puzzle... |

Well they arent from tin snips, I just tried.
The obverse and reverse markings line up with each other and I just looked under a microscope and the markings are doubled as well!

The rim seems like it is still intact, so has to be a pressed marking, either in the mint or after. is there any mechanism that would leave such a mark though?   |

PMD. Why does it matter how the coin got post mint damaged,even if you know it's still a damaged coin worth face value.IMHO, John1  |

Nothing in the mint would do this except maybe a disgruntled employee. I agree with the above. PMD...although it does look like a pie |

Thanks, that's all I wanted to know if a minting machine had any parts that my do that.

The answer is no. This is damage, just as many others have already said.
