Some sort of PMD. I don't know how they made this, but it definitely doesn't look like a mint error. Partially flattened perhaps? Just wondering, is it concave, or is the obverse creating an illusion that it is when it's not? |

Looks like a 'shed job', placed back into circulation.

Something round & sharp was pressed or whacked into the coin it looks like it bent the obverse out a little where wear took over. IMO

We always say, PMD when we are not sure about a coin, how does one really know that this didn't happen at the mint? With 'werts' program and he doesn't seem to be able to copy it, why couldn't it have been made that way?  |

Looks like PMD at first glance. The smearing of the rim of the rev., with the obliterated legends raises serious flags with me. I believe something whacked this. The first question any error collector should ask of any coin is this........... could this happen at the mint............... intact rim removes partial clip..........obv damage to legends opposite circular cut of rev removes cut when struck because legend would not be damaged..... hence damaged after struck = PMDsuspect hole saw with centering bit......head damage of caribou......

This coin looks like it was used to level something. The obverse looks the have been on the floor while the reverse looks to have been under something round....maybe a pipe of some sort or a metal leg on a work bench. That would explain the larger and smaller circles.

Pacificoin...I have learned more from seeing the so called 'ugly' coins posted on this site then I ever could learn about errors through books. We all know what the normal errors look like but we all come across something at some point that we can't explain so here they are. In all their glory. Free entertainment in my books. Lol We should start a thread just for 'your ugliest PMD' lol |

The obverse certainly looks like it was used as a pad on a table leg, but I don't see how the reverse gets an extra rim or additional metal on the caribou head out of that. Pictures from an angle?

AT Rob oh there are lots of good books out there on errors. My ugliest PMD was confiscated about 48 years ago by my grade six teacher. I got busted for putting an old Large cent in mercury! |
