That is cool! You can see the last 2 date digits on top of the rolled up part. Capped die might be right - one that fell off and was struck?

It is definitely not a capped die and almost certainly just another damaged coin. I really have no idea what could make the coin look like that but I do know that there is nothing that can happen at the Mint to make a coin look like that. A specific process has to occur to create a mint error but a coin can be damaged in an almost infinite number of ways so it is much easier to describe an error than it is to describe PMD.

I see what appears to be lines over the word liberty and Mr Roosevelts head, which could be remnants of letters from a die, what die is another question, they appear to not have any constant pattern to them, I too await Mr.D and his expertise.....

Is it at all possible that something may have happened to the blanking press? We hear about incomplete planchet errors, but are there other errors associated with this phase of the minting process?

I would be curious as to Mike's take on this one as well.

If you look at the date, it is fully formed and nicely struck but is under whatever that folded metal (material) is.

To me , that means the coin was struck and it had to be damaged at a later time.

Thanks,
Bill O'

Bill, did you see the second set of pictures lower down on the first page? Maybe my eyes are playing tricks, but it looks like the rest of the date on top of the rolled up edge.

I'll go back and look. The problem though is that the date would be distorted if this happened during the strike and the digits of the date are normal.

I'll still take another peek.

Thanks,
Bill

The coin was vandalized outside the Mint. The details of the process employed are hard to reconstruct, but it's largely irrelevant.

thank you Mike , the coin is back with it's owner .. I can't imagine how this was done, from what I could see it all looked normal in every way except the extra metal, with no seam on the edge to make me think it had been tampered with
