Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 11/10/2019 12:55 am It's just a damaged coin. Nothing in the minting process could have caused this. The reverse looks like it was removed with something that was spinning. I'm not sure if it's flattened or sanded down. The color could be darker due to heat build up during the modification process. I like the look of the reverse. Do you have a weight on the coin? ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

As mentioned by @yokozuna, this is all just damage, but it is cool enough looking that saving this seems like a good option.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/10/2019 6:57 pm Altered. It was struck like that. The weight will be under. Note the full rim on the obverse, there was also one on the reverse when it was struck. Even the slightest thinness of a planchet will cause a weak strike. But not the rims on the coin above? The rims are weak, thus the planchet was thin, or the strike was weak. On your coin the obverse is strong, the reverse was altered, the full proves that. Report this Post to the Staff
