Pattern seems too random to be encased marks and don't know how you would achieve these marks fooling around. Any info would be great. Thanks Spanky. Report this Post to the Staff

spankymlr New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 07/27/2012 11:09 am no letters under liberty just looked like it from the scan. One more note, the edge of the coin is not choppy but smooth with bubbles where the fluting meets which leads me to believe the marks were done under pressure. Report this Post to the Staff

papatony Pillar of the Community United States 808 Posts	Posted 07/27/2012 12:43 pm Coppercoins explained what was with this coin on one of your other 3 posts . If it were anything He would know and would have said so. As to HOW it was done, get a pair of diagonal wire cutting pliers and just go around the coin and nip at it. Don't ask why someone would do this. They apparently have too much free time. Edited by papatony 07/27/2012 12:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff
