ChristinaCoins New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 12/08/2018 08:14 am Can anyone please explain the 4 stamped on this coin? Does it mean that a penny of it has been used? I can't really find it online because I don't know how to word it. Thanks - ChristinaCoins * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4421 Posts	Posted 12/12/2018 10:42 am to the CCF! Nickel is a most hardened metal. As such, it serves as good measure for a test punch, as Conder surmised. I've seen the number stamps on a great many coins before, but their purpose, likely industrial and stamped by a machinist, is unknown. As such, they are "mavericks" that will never be attributed.
