Hi guys, I found this last night while roll searching. I am not sure if this is a garage job or legit. Please let me know your thoughts    So my questions would be, is this brockerage? if not what? and what value would this have? |

Ok, what markers are you looking for to tell if it is PMD vs Mint brockerage? |

The fact that it is low grade. An error this spectacular would have been taken out of circulation long before it got to this point. As John said the damage on the rim is troubling. There is always the certification option to make absolutely sure.

The flattening on the obverse suggests that the coin was not in a coin press when it was impressed on the reverse. So, PMD |

have any of you ever used a quality Record vice, I don't mean to be rude, but you might want to rethink if it is a PMD. A vice would leave quite a bit of small checkering, or other repetitive marks. this coin does not seem to have any. In addition, how could you use a vice if you wanted to make this into a Brockage, or even a partial clip. I think that the marks are from the actual mints press and die. I may be wrong, but before you toss it, just wait on it and still put a 2x2 and use it as a conversation piece. |

I'd hang on to it. Even just as an example. What did it cost you? lol

You would use a flat plate to keep the Record vise marks off. Machine shop grade 8.

No care was taken to hide it from being PMD. I think it was 2 coins on a bench with a hammer 2 hits. |
