Haha I've been told everything from "poor mans screwdriver" to "try cut them to make change" I have no idea, had anyone else ran into this? Pretty neat if you ask me! Report this Post to the Staff

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 10/31/2019 08:58 am When I was working retail in college, somebody thought it would be a silly prank to put a pad lock on one of the shopping carts. The general manager was a forward-thinker and had a bolt cutter stashed away in the loading bay. He was too busy to take care of it himself, so he gave them to the cart boy and told him to take care of it. The cart boy did cut off the padlock and returned the cutters, but not before he cut all the pennies and nickels in his pocket in half for kicks. Teenagers and sharp powerful objects are a dangerous mix. Report this Post to the Staff

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 10/31/2019 10:18 am to CCF! Maybe it's the earliest example of a double straight clipped planchet. It is a really neat find, but unless we build a time machine we'll never really learn the secret of this coin. A time machine would make coin collecting really interesting, don't you think? ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff
Jashearer3 New Member United States 34 Posts	Posted 10/31/2019 10:36 am so it being cut clearly was an act to appease the gods, must be worth triple the normal amount. Also I'm gonna go ahead and give it a PR-63 grade Report this Post to the Staff
