coinee Valued Member United States 113 Posts	Posted 07/30/2017 5:36 pm I found this 1995 CRH that, at first, appeared to be just bent. But looking at it more closely it appears the damaged may have occurred at the mint. On the obverse there is a rim indent along where the bend is. My guess is the coin was struck, stayed and the next planchet fell on it off center and got struck against the already struck coin causing the dent and rim impression. Could be a fairy tail but seems reasonable. Any thoughts? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Alex12780 Valued Member United States 344 Posts	Posted 07/30/2017 6:52 pm I'm thinking PMD. If it got stuck with another coin there would be more than a slight curve on the obverse. Taking two pennies and hitting them with a hammer would leave a small indentation like that. Notice the stronger hit in the "Liberty" area. Report this Post to the Staff

coinee Valued Member United States 113 Posts	Posted 07/31/2017 2:23 pm Thanks all for the replies. coop: What exactly is the "incuse mark from another coin" you mentioned? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/31/2017 2:27 pm An incuse mark is where something hit another coin (in this case a rim from another coin) leaving and indent on the rims and on the fields of this coin. This can be achieved by placing Two Cents slightly off center and place the coin between two pieces of wood. Lay it on the ground or on concrete and hit the wood with a hammer. The damages the two coins leaving this type of mark on both coins. PSD both of them. Report this Post to the Staff
