Celticsoul Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 01/21/2015 7:47 pm This looks to me like post mint damage. Meaning it happened after it left the mint. I will say it does look interesting though. Maybe someone who collects error coins can be of more help. Report this Post to the Staff

Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 01/21/2015 8:04 pm Coin Rolling Machine Damage. The coin rolling machine moves and flattens the metal and causes what you see here. Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 01/21/2015 8:31 pm Likely what SlurExe98 said. This is a pretty violent example of the type but not unheard of. Could we possibly see the reverse? Can you tell if the fields just inside (towards the center) the line drawn by those dots is beveled towards them? I'm trying to nail down precisely where the metal came from to form those dots. They're so precise they almost look like the coin was in a chuck somewhere. Report this Post to the Staff
coin_kid Valued Member United States 381 Posts	Posted 01/21/2015 9:18 pm to the Community! I have a hunch that it's from a coin rolling machine, but I have never seen an example that extreme... Neat find! Report this Post to the Staff
bkkeel98 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 01/21/2015 10:02 pm I posted the reverse. As you can see the "IN" in, in god we trust is also smooshed. The fascinating thing is that the top of the letters are there, its just missing the bottom. Thanks everyone. I hope to find out exactly what this is! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/22/2015 11:54 am It may have been damaged by a vending machine. We used to buy gumballs/peanuts/cashews other items back in the old days. Something may have been in the slot of the machine and when turned it damaged that area of the devices. It looks like it pushed them upwards to the rim. Something could get into the slot like metal and damage a coin. PSD Edited by coop 01/22/2015 11:55 am Report this Post to the Staff
