Wanting more of an explaination is one thing. Saying, "or should we take your assertion as gospel?" is a whole other thing. That is what I took offense to. Learn some respect for those that have done this a lot longer and who have given countless hours of their own time helping others. Look at his post count!!! You think he has 10,000 posts of "nice coin" or "cool"?

Here is a full explaination of what I feel happened to this coin. I feel that if it is the same size, then another cent was placed on top of it and either had it struck by a hammer, or squeezed in a vice to leave that kind of an impression. It was done post mint. Had it been a clip, which is done before striking by the die, I feel the metal flow would have taken the devices UNI over and into the crevice. But because you can faintly still make up the outline of those letters on the surface, also leads me to believe it was done post mint.

Note the edge of the coin. It is not round. The coin was altered after the strike. If you placed two coins between two pieces of wood and hit it with a hammer, it would only affect the two coins in the center. The outside coins would not have a mark. (unless the coins are bent) If it were a double strike then both sides of the coin would be affected. There would also be a lack of rim on this area of the curve. It shows an indented line like what you would expect from another coin hitting that coin. So it is PSD to this coin. Altered after the strike. |

I agree that the indent was caused by another coin. I suspect it was a dime, since the curve seems to be part of a smaller disc than the cent.
I'm glad we managed to keep this thread under control before it got locked.

By the way, this is what an incomplete clip looks like.   Quote:

The crushing of the design rim and letters indicates this is post-strike damage.
