coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/28/2022 12:45 pm It was a former Encased Cent. The mounting of them into the holder, damages the coin coin rim areas. Thus the removed coin is not a cull coin. Not a plus for the coin. This is what they probably looked like before: While the coin looks nice in the holder, when removed it is just a damaged coin. So the best thing to do is not remove it from the holder. At least there is interest in these. But removed, it is just a damaged coin. So in the wheat pile this coin will go. 10 CoopHome: "Encased Cents?" What are they? these in holders we 'Good Luck" coins. once removed, they are now just damaged coins, a cull Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 10/28/2022 4:46 pm Looks like it has been sheared off and not just a hit. Someone playing on a paper cutter or shear. If it was an Encased Coin, it would be affected all the way around. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 98963 Posts	Posted 10/28/2022 10:12 pm I don't think it was encased, that area on the reverse at k-1 looks like damage - notice how it is bulging out, making the coin out-of-round.
