Rpuckett Valued Member United States 67 Posts	Posted 01/12/2017 5:18 pm I am very new to the world of coins. Can someone tell me what is wrong with this coin. The edge is missing. Does it have a higher value? Report this Post to the Staff

Not usually added value unless some of the devices (lettering) is missing or partially missing. Yours looks pretty cool though. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 01/13/2017 12:03 am I would think that if it was encased we would see evidence of it on the obverse as well. Also, I think the devices on the top of the reverse would be flattened a bit too? I don't know if it my PC or what but a lot of these images will not open in a new window in the enlarged sized - any body else having this problem? So if I just zoom from this page it gets too blurry. Report this Post to the Staff
ErrorCoins222 Pillar of the Community United States 1699 Posts	Posted 01/13/2017 04:29 am Yes, it is some sort of rim damage. Likely, the result of being an ex-encased coin as mentioned before. Edited by ErrorCoins222 01/13/2017 04:30 am Report this Post to the Staff
Rpuckett Valued Member United States 67 Posts	Posted 01/13/2017 2:02 pm thanks everyone for your information. I'm not sure if the coin was encased. I have several that are and the edges appear to not be cut down on them. It seems like a lot of trouble to mess with the edge of a penny to encase it. Here are some other coins that I have. I'm so new to this that I assume this is what you mean by encased. Report this Post to the Staff
