With reeds being added to the coin at the moment of striking on reeded coins,
not sure how this can happen. Sure looks convincing though!

Very interesting cent. I'm not sure what caused the reeding or if it has any real value, but you should not hold a coin with your fingers like you did in photos. Those finger prints are forever and will sure lower any value that it may have Try holding only by edges . Just my humble opinion.

I am looking for some coins (pennies) I got as a kid at Niagra Falls (Canada) that you would crank into a machine and I believe they added a reeded edge, as well as altering both faces of the coin.  |

Some type of mechanical damage since a cent planchet won't fit in a dime collar die.
I believe Mike Diamond addressed this before and confirmed the most likely type of machine.

The collar for a 1 cent coin does not have reeding so it must have happened after it left the mint. PMD |

No one addressed my original question, and went right their own assumptions and opinions :-( Given the level of assumed level of expertise in the forum, I figured I wouldn't have to spell it out explicitly, but alas, here we go: There is a plausible scenario that does not include PM knurling or the impossible use of a standard US penny die band which is smooth, and that is that it may have been struck during a run of a similarly sized foreign coin for which the US Mint was contracted to produce in the same time period when the 1980-P 1C die was in service. Someone could have mistakenly grabbed the collar from the reeded foreign coin, especially if all dies or hubs of a particular size range were serviced and cleaned in the same area or room. I am looking to see if anyone has come acrosss some official documents regarding production of foreign coins during the same time period. If foreign coinage was in-fact produced during the same period, it's plausible that this could have happened during the run of a US 1C penny run or during the foreign coin run. Do you or someone you know have any evidence of foreign coin production during this time period that can either support or refute the above claim? Thanks for reeding!  |

ontleden, please crop your images before uploading, I just took the time to do the ones here. It literally takes about 5 seconds each to do it before uploading them.

Well, I read your original question and should have added/posted this: https://minterrornews.com/foreign_c..._figures.pdfThis is the most complete list I've some across. You will notice many columns, countries, denominations, and even whether a particular US coin could have been produced on the foreign planchet listed. ps. I'm guessing you searched online for "Did the US produce any foreign coins in 1980?" but didn't have much luck. EDIT: Please add the diameter of the coin.

Agreed, just a fake example of a reeded coin. You're welcome, for the replies!

The Dominican Republic 10 centavos is the closest foreign
coin produced by the mint with reeding in 1980 and it was
17.8 mm soa U.S. planchet would not fit in the collar.
It could not have been produced with a foreign collar.
