An obvious hammered-out fabrication.

Is that not a struck through nail? Looks like it's poking through on the obverse

All kidding aside, the reverse shows what was a nice lamination flaw running north/south. That's a real error. Unfortunately, it was severely, and intentionally, damaged post-mint. It looks like a large punch or machined metal rod was used in combination with a hammer to make those impressions on the obverse. The concentric lines there look like lathe lines. Unfortunately, it has zero value. I don't know if you can even safely spend it as a cent.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

I figure those concentric rings are from the machined hammer head itself. At any rate, it was a nice lamination before that.  |

It does have value,as a learning tool and the copper value. I think it is still against the law to melt it though  John1  |

Why can I see letters of the EPU on the reverse side, where it looks supposely "Double Struck"? CherryPicker1, not trying to be stupid here, but I honestly just want to learn, so take it easy please.  Errers and Varietys.

Reminds me of someone using a steel piece from a lathe, in a shape of a coin that was repeated pressed on to the coin. The lines look like something raised from the rounded piece of metal. Just an altered coin. Worth copper melt. It was an error coin with the lamination on the reverse. But was destroyed when it was altered.

My opinion is PMD. Some sort of metal press stamping machine/ hammering machine used to put a pattern on sheet metal did this. There's literally hundreds of designs and patterns that can be done either by sheet if it's a large machine or a much smaller scale machine to make it more custom and more artistic. It would normally be on a copper, stainless steel or aluminium sheet though, not a coin. Not sure why anyone would do this but I see coins all the time that make me say "why would someone do this?" Lol |
