SomethingIsFishy Valued Member United States 303 Posts	Posted 01/02/2016 8:06 pm My father in law gave me this one... It's obviously lead a hard life, but neither of us can figure out how it can be so beat up, yet still have so much detail... Report this Post to the Staff

SomethingIsFishy Valued Member United States 303 Posts	Posted 01/03/2016 8:36 pm I just figured that something that chewed up a coin so bad would have destroyed most of the detail... The thing is so "smashed" it's almost as big as a nickel... yet it still has most of the detail... Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 01/03/2016 9:01 pm I was going to say 'road kill'. However, I have never seen a road kill grow as much in diameter with such a comparatively small amount of damage. It's 22% bigger in area; that's a lot. Won't pass judgement just yet. Needs to be weighed. Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 01/03/2016 9:02 pm While a lot of us like to guess at what happened, the fact is that there is no way to know for certain. Here's another coin that is larger than normal but retains normal looking devices. https://goccf.com/t/216119 Report this Post to the Staff
