Could this be caused by some sort of striking error, or is the coin just damaged * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/20/2017 9:34 pm Looks like it was squeezed with a bit of pipe or a socket that altered the obverse and crushed the reverse. Note how the coin is out of round? They tried hard to make it look real. But guess what, there is no way the rim couple be normal on both sides before the coin was altered.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 11/20/2017 10:33 pm Definitely damaged. Notice how it not only appears out of round it IS out of round. A MAD coin is still struck within the collar so even though it looks off it is still completely round. (Which can be demonstrated by placing a regular coin over it. The MAD coin will NOT stick out past the regular coin at any point.) Edited by Conder101 11/20/2017 10:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff
