Here are a few others posted here in the past:   The edge shows me that your coin has been pressed downwards. Not the grove on the center of the edge of the coin. The rims were pressed downward and left that area smaller in the center of the edge. If you compared it with a normal cent, you coin is probably a bit wider. The collar makes the coin round. The rim flattened down made the coin wider. PSDThe rim edge of the obverse shows this movement of metal from 7:00 to 1:00 in that area. Just like the examples above. Edited by coop

The coins are literally hammered into an aluminum ring, the rim and edge sustain significant damage that is not necessarily seen while still in the encasement but it is usually quite obvious when the coin is removed from the encasement.

I see that now. I stand corrected and admit to my stubbornness. I was not aware of that type of mount or anything like it.. I was imagining delicate jewelry mounts as I stated.
I see exactly what you are talking about now.
Thanks guys, :)

On the example of the nickel above, it looks like there were fingers that helped hold the coin onto the holder. (On the reverse of the coin)

1951 seems to have been a big year for encasing cents.  Why is 1951 such a big year for encasements? I read somewhere that the concave edge is an earmark of an Encased Coin. I am posting below the edge of a 1951-D Lincoln Cent. I do not recall where I read this, but if you Google "Encased Collectors International" you will find information. Here is the edge:  Edited by Pete2226

Pete2226 that pic looks like it came from my coin!
It must have been that the technology was cheaply available for advertisement stunts that year....

Or just an indication that the coin has been altered.

Imagine how nice they looked when first encased.

Because of being incased, it's now a cull coin. It's worth Copper melt value.
Errers and Varietys.

1951 was used because it was my birthyear!  |

Probably a birth year for some youngster.
