Yep it's PMD, looks like two coins were pressed together or something. |

Well, let's think about it. If another coin was sitting on top of this one then either the area under the coin would have no struck image or the previously struck image would be very blurred and mushy. Also, think about the coin you have here sitting on the reverse die as it was struck. If it had another coin on top of it then the reverse image would still be normal. I'm only trying to help you think through your suggestion.

PMD smashjob, a struck-through error would not have a mangled rim and flattened reverse.

I really believe there is some person who knows a lot about coins laughing his head off over his or hers or their creations like this.

If this was PMD and was smashed another cent would have to have been sitting on top of this one with the reverse down and would have left the reverse impression on the damaged coin but its not that way look at the o one the corner of the damaged and the way the corner of the memorial is pointing west does that make cents |

And also from what I see after doing my further inspection csi style lol I can see impressions from the reverse like it was laying on the top but there is no damage or any impressions of the memorial on Lincoln's face if you look at the one pic that only shows half the cent by the date you can see the FG and other reverse impressions unless my old eyes need to be checked again thanks y'all

It is PMD as already noted.I really believe a good book and studying what can happen would be more productive. |

daniels..getting excited is not a problem...we all do...but when you get answers from pyrbob and biokemist, you can give up and move on to the next coin...even save it for when you get more experience.

It sometimes amazes me to see how much time and effort is put into explaining all sorts of odd ways that obvious damage to a coin could have been from some part of the minting process. Very strong suggestion to self-educate by looking for a book on the minting process and read it cover to cover half a dozen times. If you cannot find the right book online or at a book store, contact the ANA. They have copies of their old correspondence course on the minting process that is an excellent read into how coins are made. It would immediately dis-spell any mythical reasoning for how this coin could be anything but a hammer job. |
