I've had some constructive and unconstructive comments on this cent in the past @vent, my hope is that you will only get the former here at CCF. With that said, you may find that you don't want to hear what we have to say and so I hope that you understand we are still trying to be constructive. My opinion is that this cent has been damaged after it left the mint-no mint error at all. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Thanx Spence again for your feedback, I'm just up for opinions here.. this coin has bothered me for a long time and want to put some type of label on it before I stow it away (: Have you been collecting for a long time?

this looks like PSD. Just a bunch of curious looking damage. Edited by BigSilver

When you say mule clash, what do you think the reverse mule is. 5c, 10c, 25c, 50c, from 1948? A foreign coin?

Scrambled eggs. Unsure of how this was done, but definitely PSD. There is no conceivable explanation of how this could have happened at the mint. |

Ya, scrambled eggs lol, I have no idea either. I don't care either way, but knowing which way would be great for a label!

Just a damaged coin. Post Strike Damage ( PSD). Did not happen at the U.S. Mint, so it's not an error coin. That's the final conclusion for this coin. Errers and Varietys.

I can see the wheat on reverse but very worked over.

IMO, someone heated it then fiddled with it...I foresee an experiment in my future...I would title it "someone playing with fire"..

Altered after strike. I'm wondering if it experienced some time in a fuse box. Thanks, Doug.

That spot on the obverse where liberty should be leads me to believe the coin was worked and this whole thing is post mint damage. Not sure what tool was used, maybe a combination of a wire wheel or dremel tool and a heating element as well, but this isn't a mint error.
Maybe an air powered burr tool or a rotary file.
