 Good pick up in the wild! Unfortunately it isn't a mint error. It was done by pressing something on the coin, perhaps a socket hammered on to it to simulate a mint error. How I can tell is notice houw the rim in the smashed area is still there, that shows the coin was wholly minted. Done with a lot of pressure so most likely in a hydraulic press (10Klbs/force)

I'm not saying I don't agree with you crazybo but it looks like the blakesley effect opposite the affected area and if it was a normal coin at one point where are the devices on that part of the coin? I don't really know.much about clipped planchet or incomplete ones at that but it seems like it has some of those characteristics. I legitimately would like to know if I'm just seeing things or if this can be explained?

 to the forum! Not an error, just damage. Maybe a vice job or a hydraulic press like mentioned before.

Like I said, I don't know much about this type of error and therefore am not disagreeing. I just find it odd that there seems to be evidence of the blakesley effect exactly opposite the affected area. You can clearly see weakening of the rim on the opposite side. Is that just coincidental then?

thanks guys , I figured it was a 50/50, that's why I posted here. I did forget the question mark on the title ...Sorry. Took it to a shop close to me I do biz with and he was on the fence after going under his scopes. I'm putting this with my little collection of "nice try, Bubba" coins. they're good for conversation pieces.

After doing some research and checking out EV's links this actually looks like a partial indent and not incomplete clip. In a partial indent, the coin doesn't eject and a blank planchette is then stamped onto the face of the coin. You can see in the examples on error coins that the rim and devices we're in fact there from the initial strike and then flattened when pressed with the edge of the blank planchette. Again, I'm not saying this isn't homemade, I'm just saying when looking at it through the perspective of that type of error and not clip it makes a lot sense. The example also shows weakness on the opposite rim. The only difference between the two examples is the one on error ref was partially ejected where as this one I think was fully stuck in. Anyways, I'm just saying I think it's a rational possibility. If I'm totally wrong then someone please explain to me why. this isn't sarcasm but I honestly am always trying to learn something new and like to learn anything and everything about coin errors.
