ChildOfTheWheat Pillar of the Community United States 5828 Posts	Posted 05/03/2015 09:00 am Looks like PMD from a roller machine IMHO. The reverse looks like it might be a Greaser, a small one. You found these in a brick? Maybe the building was built in 1968? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/03/2015 09:50 am Are all in the same location on the same year? Or are they random years in different locations. Some events can cause damage on coins. slot machines, coin counters, vending machines and probably more things. But the lines seem to follow the rim, so I feel it maybe a mechanical issue that caused the damage. Report this Post to the Staff

tweak800 Pillar of the Community United States 1249 Posts	Posted 05/03/2015 11:09 am I have posted similar coins with rims like that I've heard finning and PMD and things like that coin was in a holder for a necklace. Good luck with this one Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/03/2015 12:21 pm A rim Cud would be raised. This is more of an indent on the rim from a raised area on the collar. Edited by coop 05/03/2015 12:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff
pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 05/03/2015 12:35 pm The collar only comes in contact with the edge of the coin and not the rim so I think the raise area is a rim Cud as John said and the line on each side of the Cud is from the obverse die.. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/03/2015 1:30 pm I stand corrected. I just noticed what you guys were seeing on the 4th and 6th images. Report this Post to the Staff
