SF11Dude Pillar of the Community United States 746 Posts	Posted 01/21/2018 8:54 pm It appears most of the dmaage came from the rim in... Makes me think during the minting process HAL9000 went crazy on this coin... Report this Post to the Staff

Some one beat the heck outta' that poor cent or it got caught up in some sort of machinery after it left the mint Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 01/22/2018 12:36 am It looks like human damage to me. Also, the gouges probably started on the interior and were made moving outward to the rim. I agree with Spence, it has been vandalized.
