CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 02/16/2017 11:25 pm It had me fooled, especially the parts about no design transference with such a deep line in it and the line being narrower than a rim. I suppose it was damaged by something other than another coin. Thanks for settling it. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 02/17/2017 12:21 pm I would go withthe 3/4 inch pipe. A coin placed on it and hammered hard enough to create that deep trench would have also transferred some incuse and reversed details from the other coin onto the high areas of the coin. (The bust of Lincoln) The fact that the letters of TRUST are in the bottom of the trench proves it has to be PSD. If the trench had been in the planchet pre-strike the only way to get the letters into the bottom of the trench would be to flatten out or wipe out the trench completely. Think about it, if the trench was pre-strike it was incuse into the planchet, the lettering was incuse into the die. The only way to get the bottom of the trench to reach the lettering in the die would be to flatten it out to the point where the bottom of the trench was at the same level as the field of the coin, and then some to get the metal forced into the recesses in the die. So the strike came first and then whatever caused the crescent shaped depression. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 02/17/2017 7:29 pm Yes Conder. I agree it's PSD. I had it in my head it had to be a mint error, because I knew that deep a trench with all that circumference couldn't have been caused by another cent and not transfer design. Others were saying it was caused by another cent. Then it dawned on me about the time Mike weighed in, that it was probably a pipe or something. Report this Post to the Staff
learning New Member United States 38 Posts	Posted 04/02/2017 7:53 pm just my 2 cents. but I agree with the pipe thing. but thinking (sometimes) it had to be struck twice to see the outer rim lowered and the inner rim lowered and leave a center rim raised. maybe a sspipe small dia. of the right size Report this Post to the Staff
