Mikeyworms Valued Member United States 194 Posts	Posted 09/13/2019 02:38 am This Error its the best I ever seen. Looks like the rim of coin punched down REV, Maybe DD rev also. Please say its true and very Valuable to pay for my Medical Bills that are killing my retirement !. 1st of each month I exchange $100 in bills for $100 in mixed coins at Bank. I always ask for coins that have tape on ends because of people exchanging and not looking at them. The past 3 months I've been doing great , bank says elderly lady has been bringing in her change and getting bills. Anyway here is list- Silver 1-$1, 6 $1/2 ,3 -1/4 -20 rolls wheat 1c. !Great Ha!! -You All are Great Help Dont Know What I'd do without your Honest opinions Kindest Regards= 56 yr old 1st Time Grandpa!

Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 09/13/2019 03:49 am @mw, congratulations on being a grandpa--that is wonderful! With regard to the two slightly wavy arcs on the rev of your coin, it looks to me like the rim of another coin was pressed into this one (two times). On the other hand, there is a small amount of Machine Doubling on AMERICA. Sorry but I don't think that this coin will fund your retirement. I'm glad to see that you are finding some silver though.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/13/2019 11:39 am What I'm not seeing. I'm not seeing another coin contact except the affected area, so that rules out a vice issue. It might be an error if the edge came off another coin and was struck into the this coin. This has happened before: I find interesting how it tails out over the edge of the rim. This might be a struck through error. If it were attempted as a hit between two pieces of wood, then I would expect to see more contact with the face of another coin, this is not present. Note the highest points of the coins devices are not affected. Report this Post to the Staff
Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7516 Posts	Posted 09/13/2019 1:22 pm Coop's explanation makes good sense and confirms the possibility of being a struck through since there are no distortion of any metal seen on either sides of the trenches and Furthermore the very ends of these trenches come to a pointy sharp and much flatter finish, that I don't believe would be possible to do with a vise! What an awesome find! Edited by Chase007 09/13/2019 2:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Mikeyworms Valued Member United States 194 Posts	Posted 09/14/2019 01:07 am is it worth having this coin SLABBED? Thanks Mike Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 09/14/2019 05:02 am Well if you send it in then perhaps there can be a final word on what you have here. @coop's opinion carries a lot of weight, but I still am struggling with this not being damage. There are two, not one arcs so that means that two different rims fell off coins and onto this flan before striking. Both arcs are still perfectly round--not slightly mangled as one would expect if the rim came off another coin. Also, both arcs continue on to the rim of the coin.

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2739 Posts	Posted 09/14/2019 2:29 pm I agree with those who've concluded that this half dollar was struck through reeding. Most of the time, such reeding represents sheared-off fins, but there are other potential sources that I've written about in Coin World. Error coin writer and researcher.

Evan7 Pillar of the Community United States 1070 Posts	Posted 09/14/2019 2:32 pm It does not look like PSD to me. The area looks raised to me not sunken in. Maybe struck through something? I'm don't know but coop cool none the less and a keeper to me Cheers Report this Post to the Staff
