this, I think is so obvious, unless there is a device within a coin press that can do this. one never knows...  Thought it is interesting and why someone would do this?  Oh, maybe I should post it on the bay as a "One of a Kind"? maybe for 250?  have fun with it...

While it is possible for dies to be used that still have lathe marks on them, the result looks different than this.

I once had to tell a young collector that his error collection was worthless - he had purchased a bunch of garage job PMD coins on ebay... unknowingly... I took pity on the lad and gave him a nice mint state off-centre 1-cent.

Maybe someone used it as a spacer on some sort of bearing in a machine or something?

looks like maybe used in this kind of setup, where, a hole drilled in the end was not wanted. not sure however why the cutting tool looked like it was indexed on the cent rather that the piece.( lightly touched to the face you want to set the machine at zero to base all your other measurements on). http://www.americanmachinetools.com.../Fig7-47.gif |

SPPof course I was kidding... should be obvious.  Bought it for a dollar at our coin club auction. Why? Just because...  Ok now, I am still asking myself HOW someone made this? Just for interest and to know. it had to be attached to something and then turned. The 2 indentations alone would not hold it to a mechanical lathe or whatever IMO, to turn it and create these marks. There had to be some pressure to do this. AND if you closely look at it, it was done a long time ago. Maybe even at the mint "during liquid lunch hour".

Judging by the flattening on the reverse it may have been done with some kind of punch.

Those are lathe lines fourmack, I wrote an article in the CN Journal about lathe lines in Canadian coins. Are you a member of the RCNA? If so, you can access that article in the Dec 2013 issue.
