Beefer518 Pillar of the Community United States 887 Posts	Posted 07/26/2017 02:15 am That's actually PMD (Post Mint Damage), and happens when you put two pennies (cents) in a vise grip, and close the vise with all your might. Keep it as a novelty, but there is no added value. Keep looking, you'll find something! Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 07/26/2017 02:16 am It looks like penny-smashing. That would just be post-mint damage ( PMD). to the Family!

Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 07/26/2017 06:17 am I agree with @beefer and @spruett that this was a vise job. Safe to spend this piece!

RoyCoinBoy Pillar of the Community United States 1609 Posts	Posted 07/26/2017 08:37 am It does surprise me how deep of an imprint it has. I have tried (I know, I'm guilty! ) to do a vise job, and could partly get an imprint in the metal before my hands started to hurt. I think this might be more of a hydraulic press' work.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74881 Posts	Posted 07/26/2017 12:15 pm Your welcome. The proper terminology is misstruck not misprint. The mint does not print coin. They strike coins with two steel rods known as coin dies. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
