chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 07/15/2018 07:10 am I'm guessing that this cent was used to bypass a fuse in an old fuse panel. The swirl in the middle was caused by the bad fuse being screwed onto it. Here's an excerpt from a Wiki page:"One form of fuse box abuse was to put a penny in the socket, which defeated overcurrent protection and resulted in a dangerous condition. Such tampering will not be visible without full inspection of the fuse" Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74707 Posts	Posted 07/15/2018 09:18 am It's Post Strike Damage, not an error. It happened after it left the U.S. Mint. The metal has been pushed over and flattened. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21631 Posts	Posted 07/15/2018 10:15 am I agree with Crazyb0 & Coop. Looking at the reverse, it looks like glue sitting on top of the coin. Probably mounted on something. E & V Don't see anywhere that the metal has been pushed over and flattened, what area are you referring to? Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74707 Posts	Posted 07/15/2018 12:46 pm The middle area, but it doesn't really matter, since it's Post Strike Damage. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
