coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/26/2012 9:11 pm Looks like someone placed 2 cents between two boards and hit them with a hammer. Thus just the rim made contact with the obverse. PSD Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 02/27/2012 01:14 am I, for one, do not see any effect of the supposed 'damage' on the reverse of this coin. Could you point it out Coop? Report this Post to the Staff

timsumrall Pillar of the Community United States 1256 Posts	Posted 02/27/2012 10:07 am If a sandwich job why didn't the "hit" go all the way around the obverse. I'm guessing a feeder problem. The rim has been scraped upwards. Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2737 Posts	Posted 02/27/2012 3:38 pm It looks like post-strike damage to me. The reverse face might have been cushioned by a relatively soft surface. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
