Understandable, but I find it very odd that the original person who posted and myself, live very far from one another and have similar coins? Possible error? Very strange coincidence. This may make me send it in to a grading company just to cure my curiosity and confirmation.

I just know I have seen many coins with many different errors that people have tossed away thinking it was "man made". Small objects falling into where the coins are stamped, etc. Who really knows. If it's man made, then someone had a lot of time on their hands and went to great extents to have this look like this. It's even more confusing to look at under a microscope, because like I said, all these hexagons look so flush with the coin and all the details of the coin. Very strange. Thanks for your comments.

I wonder if a laser could precisely cut a design into a coin surface to a certain depth? Is so, it might then have been filled with some substance (or hologram). It is even more likely to be PSD with the second coin showing multiple areas like the OP's coin. Looks like someone was practicing over and over. But as old as this coin is it would be known if it were produced by the mint, even as an experimental piece. There are quite a few organizations scrutinizing the mint records for experimental and other mint products. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Thanks for your reply Pete. It's just odd as yo how precise these shapes are and how flush they are with the coin. If someone did it, then they really had ALOT of extra time on their hands.

If it's man made "Man made"? If it's not "Man made" then who made it? Every coin ever made has been "Man made" lol. Coins are not naturally occurring items. The issue with this coin is, was it made in the U.S. Mint in this condition, with holograms on it? The answer is NO, this coin did NOT come from the U.S. mint in this condition. "Some one" outside the mint produced it, and therefore is considered damage. Not a "maybe", the answer is PMD, period.  |

Thanks Merclover, I don't agree with you and you can lose the cockiness and attitude Mr. Know it all. Nice way to greet a new member. Thanks Bro. Let me know when the US mint hires you for your professionalism with coins.

What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence, Westman. You say you're 100% sure it's not glitter, but give no reason why it can't be. Unless you can substantiate that claim, I'm afraid I'm not buying it. I can very easily tell you why I think it *is* glitter: right size/shape, seems to be made of reflective mylar/plastic, appears to be slightly raised above the surface of the coin, consistent with being stuck on, and I have seen similar things in the past that *were* glitter. Why are you convinced it is *not* glitter, and especially why are you convinced it is an error rather than PMD? |

100 percent not raised above the surface of the coin. As I've stated, it's flush with the coin and even on Lincolns nose there is one that follows the shape of his nose perfectly. Guess you have to have the coin in front of you to be seeing what I'm seeing and get off the theory of it being Strictly PMD. I understand what you are saying, and it's possible, but you need the coin in front of you to actually see what I'm seeing. It's 100 percent not glitter. |

None of the shapes are raised. They are all completely flush with the coin. I've even tried scraping them off and it's impossible. They are embedded into the coin. PMD? Yes possible. Something no one is aware of happening at the mint? Possible. I've seen coins where a staple got embedded into a coin. Think beyond PMD. |

http://www.rptoolz.com/?p=202 Both coins in question were probably made with a hexagon punch and die tool set similar to the one I posted. Neither coin was produced, minted, or struck by the US mint.Both coins are Damaged coins and this topic should be locked down as there is nothing more to gain. As they say you can lead a horse to the water but you can't make him drink it.  Looks like a 1/4 or 3/8 punch on the coins. Take the Hexagon hammer die place on coin and strike with a hammer and make as many impressions as you like

Its 100% glitter. Both coins. Not embedded. That how it looks. Soak them in acetone and use a toothpick. Not worth sending in to get graded. Spend them. When my daughter wakes up Ill show you
