As a specialty metal fabricator dealing with .060 tolerances and sanding and grinding metal every day. To have the middle of a coin completely sanded with 0 damage to the any parts is almost impossible.

Well "no matter how it happened" there would be sanding damage on higher surface areas of the coin according the logic you guys are making?

Die grinder, some of those bits are small enough that you could do something like this.

I run a 2" die grinder and a dremel, grinding, sanding, buffing, and polishing on metals almost everyday. The idea of someone sanding flat a Penny's bust and memorial with a die grinder and also leaving 0 evidence or damage of this idea is just crazy to me but I guess that's it.

An accurate weight (to two decimal places) might tell us more.

well it is light - indicating a loss of material. It should weigh 3.11g

Every nickel I've weighed so far is 4.93-4.95 and I only have my old .00 small pocket currently so I'd need to see my better one. But I've seen pennys all over, so 5 hundredths is fairly common from what I've seen but I'm just chalking it up as PMD thought it was strange no other parts had damage of abrasion like that. |

If it came from the mint this way I would expect it to be evenly toned. Not two toned

As a metal worker, you has to know that you can grind with .01, .02 .03 mm. Your vision and logic do not stand on valid strong base.

Very interesting! Why would anyone sand down a coin? Weird, but I guess it happens!
Trust the pros here! They know what they're talking about.

Why would anyone sand down a coin? we see an incredible amount of strange intentional damage to coins here. Do a search for sanded coins at the top of this forum. See what comes up. |

Quick search above taught me something new Dearborn. That's why I love this community. Learning something new every day! The French say it best: Je vais me coucher moins niaiseux à soir. Which means: I'll go to sleep being less silly/stupid tonight.  |
