From the looks of the striping on the obverse and the "fattening" of the rim, this looks like the victim of a file or sandpaper. A grease strike would just have a lack of detail where grease was in the dye, there wouldn't be the harsh sanding lines. Unfortunately just PMD |

That is a fun find, even if the obverse is just damaged (not a mint error).

Obverse abrasion--and a ton of it. Imagine the coin face down on a smooth concrete floor (like in a warehouse), being caught under a large cardboard container and being slid around for a period of time before being freed.

@Coinfrog "defaced" no pun intended, I presume ;)

The fact that there are no rims on the Obverse tells you it was deliberately done.
You can't have a rim on only one side unless it was caused by damage.

&  So... First off I appreciate the responses... That being said I'm not saying you guys are wrong cuz obviously I'm the one who doesn't know anything and is here asking for other people's opinions, however I've done construction my entire life and I've never seen any kind of grinder that will leave marks in the way that this is done tho... These pictures don't show it well and I'm going to try and see if I can get pictures that do show more of the coin but all of those lines all come from the center going out like an explosion, and that's why I don't see how this was done by any form of grinder or Dremel tool or anything like that... I could understand it if lines ran fully from one end of the coin to the other but none do it's like something was pressed and it forced things outward... I will try to get better pictures of this when I get home in a few hours... |

And also I do love it when someone says you can't have something done one way without it being done another way because that's always the case until something is done that way... So I don't buy the whole you can't have a rim on one side of the coin without it being on the other if the coin is already in error then why couldn't that not exist as well? Just a thought...

After your statement, I don't know where to start. I'll be nice. Because you don't know how the damage was done, such damage wouldn't be possible? We here on CCF have seen this sort of grinder damage HUNDRENS of times. In fact, grinder damage is the most common intentional damage inflicted upon coins, right up there with vise jobs. We here on CCF know the minting process as well as what exactly post mint damage looks like. YOUR coin is the result of post mint damage. If you use the search box atop every page here on CCF, and search for "grinder damage" you'll find many examples from a wide variety of grinder types.  |

You're talking to a bunch of experts mate. If you won't take our Two Cents, then okay, but don't try to fight us. |
