Spence Moderator United States 34423 Posts	Posted 06/18/2016 07:30 am @queenjewels, first welcome to CCF. Second , my initial thought is that this coin has just seen some hard living and has been damaged after it left the mint. I'm going to recommend to the mods that they move your post over to modern US coins so that the folks there can provide a more informed opinion though.

QueenJewels143 New Member United States 0 Posts	Posted 06/18/2016 09:54 am Thank you so much for your reply. It's hard to tell because if you saw in person it looks impossible to be modified after. But it's hard v to get a good picture. It looks almost melted idk. Again I know nothing about coins so you are probably right. I appreciate howhat fat v you responded and all of your help Report this Post to the Staff
BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4593 Posts	Posted 06/18/2016 10:03 am PSD (Post Strike Damage), also called PMD (Post Minting Damage). Think about the minting process - two largely flat surfaces (the dies) press on a small metal disk with tons of force. This cannot raise metal above the flat parts of the dies like the damage near the date has. But after strike, when there aren't the dies being pushed flat, it's easy to raise metal. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff

Dustin6 Pillar of the Community United States 3516 Posts	Posted 06/18/2016 10:28 am to CCF. You have an example of a coin that took a beating from someone or something after it left the mint. It is what we call post strike damage. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/18/2016 11:40 am It is a damaged coin. It wasn't struck looking like that. Value? If you bought a new car and hit a fender of the car with a sledgehammer, making a nice dent in the new car. Would that increase or decrease the value of you new car? Damage will always remove a premium for a damaged coin. So it is just worth face value. Report this Post to the Staff
