I have posted this cent before Ok yes and sorry but the answer has not changed. Your cent is still just damaged. From what I can see of your picture, now you have a quarter that has been damaged in a similar fashion. Neither one is a mint error (such as being broad struck).

To me it looks like someone ground down the edge with a grinder. The quarter also looks altered. Just PSD. |

Both coins screams PSD! No error coins here, just damage. Errers and Varietys.

Look for pictures of certified broadstruck coins to see what they should look like compared to your coin.

Both seem to be dryer, hence the similarity.

I can certainly understand why you would ask, but it's just been used and abused.

Ok so would you say that the coin with this amount of damage would weigh less than 3.11grams

If the rims were ground away as some have speculated above, then yes, your coin should be underweight. However, if instead the rims were rolled over and flattened, either by spooning or by spending time in a clothes dryer, then no, your coin should be in spec for weight. Does this make sense?

Well yes I do understand and the edges are not rolled the coin is perfectly flat also there is a groove all the way around the rim where it definitely looks as if there is material missing but it weighs to spec.Anyhow I thank every one for their input

Looks to have been peened around the circumference.
I have done the same to a bolt to secure the nut
