kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 05/25/2018 08:11 am Hmmmmm, reeding on a CENT!? Highly likely it was done Post-Mint. Can't be from a Dime collar; a CENT planchet wouldn't fit. And Quarter collars would be too large and the strike would look considerably different. The surface damage, particularly on the reverse, screams "vise". Bottom line: Someone was trying to create a rarity. Report this Post to the Staff

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 05/25/2018 09:26 am The parallel scratches on the reverse look spaced the same as the reeding. Either someone tried to create an 'error' or this went through some sort of a machine maybe? Either way PMD. Keep up the hunt!

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/25/2018 12:37 pm The biggest clue it is fake? The missing plating on the edge of the coin. A sure sign of an altered coin. Report this Post to the Staff
