southsav Pillar of the Community 2224 Posts	Posted 07/05/2018 09:02 am to CCF! Who knows for sure but appears to be environmental damage, occurred after it left the Mint, PMD (post mint damage), chemical and physical damage. Report this Post to the Staff
Cuzimcute00 Valued Member United States 112 Posts	Posted 07/05/2018 09:09 am Yeah... I didn't figure it could have happened at the mint. But whatever smashed it did it where all of the elements of the coin stayed intact. Plus, it looked pretty neat. Lol. I've put a penny on the tracks as a kid, and it didn't look like that when it was hit. This one was smashed in the middle, and pushed everything out towards the sides. Kind of different.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74444 Posts	Posted 07/05/2018 11:49 am It looks like a Texas Cent to me. It's definitely Post Strike Damage (it happened after it left the U.S. Mint). Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
mikem007 Valued Member United States 318 Posts	Posted 07/05/2018 12:39 pm Can somebody explain Texas Cent? I see that it appears larger. A Google search didn't give me much info. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74444 Posts	Posted 07/05/2018 12:53 pm A Texas Cent is when someone puts a coin in-between two pieces of leather and smack it with a hammer, causing the coin to expand in size like a pancake.

Cuzimcute00 Valued Member United States 112 Posts	Posted 07/05/2018 2:12 pm Thank you. I was going to ask the same question. :) Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74444 Posts	Posted 07/05/2018 3:42 pm You're very welcome! It's Post Strike Damage, but a cool form of it. It's your decision to keep it or not. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
