mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 12/31/2008 8:14 pm As others have indicated, the coin was damaged outside the Mint. A portion of the edge shows it to be concave in vertical cross-section. This is something you see on Encased Cents (lucky token cents). Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
redshirtph New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 01/05/2009 09:09 am Sorry, away from forum for bit... I see what you mean. The lighting really plays tricks at the edge... there is a ridge and a beveled edge. TY for the info. I'll hang on to it for fun. At some point I'll bring it to someone in person, but expecting them to tell me the same! Report this Post to the Staff
