The only thing I can think of is if there was an error with the blank before it was made. Maybe an enlarged edge? The letters run into the edge. It looks like they are smeared over the edge. I wish I could upload a better picture but I don't have the resolution when it's magnified.

Well I'm stumped. I've never seen damage like this.

It has been filed. Look at the letters closer, file started mid way from letters and were just extended to rim to make it look like they are stretched. The rim top was filed down to field area. You can see all this clearly by looking at the W in we, just one extension to rim, should be the two ends and the middle. Culprit used very small file of some sort.

Very interesting this one is. It does look damaged. What's the weight and diameter? Is it the same size of another cent? White arrows. If it was filed would the edge still be there? It's looks like in most areas that lip is there? Red arrows. What's that line it looks like it runs around the coin?  |

@odd, mechanical damage by filing is a common post here on CCF, but I don't ever recall seeing the letters bleeding all the way up to the very edge of the coin with that. You are right that someone could chase the metal from the rim down to the tops of the letters and extend them in this way, but seems like a huge amount of effort and it seems like it would be a challenge to get the blending right.

Extremely odd. As Rob stated, a weight & diameter measurement would be very helpful,
but it looks like a damaged coin. Someone getting creative with files or sanding equipment.
Hard to say, need the "Real Pro's" to chime in here.

It has been filed. Plausible. If you look at the rim, there is still a trace of a line that was the inside rim. I think that line would be filed off. Might be time for me to get my small files out and do som sprmenten.  Edited by Cujohn

It does look like it's possibly wear, but the confusing thing is the "worn" edge is actually raised/thicker, not worn down.

Well, that didn't work. A file takes too much off. One other thing, it might be a wire brush with a Dremel tool. That's all I got.

Who say was filled IMHO was correct. the side photo show one normal side and the in question side it is very strait which could not come on the mint process. Filling by pulverization today is easy to achieve.
This it is my though on this coin.
This kind of coin will never happened in the minting process.

 . Size n weight? It does looks like there's ( extra?)something? I'm like everyone else it didn't come from the mint like that. Here's probably a way way out possibility. Could something have been added then a really high speed buffer used? Used to melt and smear the area. But it's still strange the edge is still there. Someone had to do that for some reason. They might be dangerous roaming around. What will they think of next?   . Maybe I'm the one that's dangerous just thinking of that.  Edited by RobO411
