Double Mint Pillar of the Community United States 810 Posts	Posted 06/09/2008 10:59 pm penny pal sry to say but that coin was definitely something that happened after it was made not while. My advice to you is to know what you are selling before you sell it. If you knew what you were selling you wouldnt post it on here as a question. I also think you need to learn what slander means before accusing others. Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 06/10/2008 12:23 am As others have said, this is a crude act of vandalism. Your cent was squeezed between or hammered between two other cents. All you need is a hammer, vise, or clamp. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 06/10/2008 12:45 am If there's something I've learned from the experts on this forum, it's this: making any claim about an undocumented error/variety is very tenuous without providing a working model of the mint process that created this coin. Perhaps that's too rational/scientific...but the alternative is just emotion and wishful thinking. After stumbling through a few false ideas myself, I've come away with that. Pennypal, despite the apparent contradiction...I'd be glad to get the straight facts from the experts who frequent this forum. Edited by KurtS 06/10/2008 12:57 am Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 06/10/2008 12:37 pm My statement doesn't change; what I stated was factual. If you represented the coin as being worth more than face value and someone else received the coin thinking it was worth more than face value because of your representation, you ripped them off, regardless of whether you are related to the person or whether any money changed hands for the coin. If the receiver walked away thinking they had more than a damaged cent they were ripped off. That's not slander, it's a fact backed by your own image and your own statement. Furthermore I don't need to know anyone to know whether they are ripping others off. I need to know the subject of what they are selling or representing, and in this case I do. Knowing the person who is committing the act is completely unimportant. The statement isn't about the person, it's about what the person is doing...if you don't like people saying you're ripping people off, then stop ripping people off. It's really that simple. $2 bills aren't errors, they are normal. Your coin isn't an error, it's damaged. Tossing the word 'error' around like it's an all-encompassing excuse to sell something that doesn't look like every day pocket change is incorrect and irresponsible.

chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 06/10/2008 3:00 pm Penny Pal: Before you do yourself a complete injustice by not staying on this forum, please allow me to give you a comparison regarding your coin: I just had 2 1980 LMC's examined and returned by Mike Diamond, a leading numismatic expert especially in the field of Die Deterioration. My two coins are post-mint damage- some knuckle-head decided to mess with the finish on both of them. Now, Lets say, I decided to sell these 2 coins to my Wife- for 2 cents each saying- its the real deal- buy it etc- knowing all the experts on this forum, even prior to Mike asking to see it, had determined it was post-mint. I then post what I did selling the coins to my wife here on the forum, and all the experts say you just ripped your wife off, in reality, I did rip her off and that's really not slander- its a fact. All I'm saying is- please listen to the experts on this forum- they know what they are talking about- its not about slandering or insulting anyone its about gaining knowledge from the BEST people in the field of numismatics! Its not very pretty at times, but they tell it like it is and WHY its like that! I know I've been disappointed on many coins I posted only to find out they were not great finds etc. Ok! I'll get off the soap-box now! :) Chuck. Report this Post to the Staff
