It has been pinched between two hard objects, such as the jaws of tin snips. There are no mint errors even close to that. The only thing I can think of would be a straight clip, but that would happen pre-strike, not post strike. That would be called a Incomplete Punch or Incomplete Clip. There is a photo of one on this page: http://www.lincolncentsonline.com/error.html |

PSD. Notice how the rim is out of round alignment. It couldn't be a mint error. There was a partial clip cent posted a while back:  But note the edge of the coin and rim are in alignment. |

You have to figure. Someone damaged a coin, what does he do? Throw it away? No he spends it. We find them. He probably has a sign like this in his garage:  We just have to figure out if it happed at the mint or not.Edited by coop
