SmackRampage Valued Member United States 76 Posts	Posted 07/04/2021 09:17 am So I found this today did the reverse not get struck all the way? The coin weighs 2.8g so I'm guessing it's copper? Any help on what's going on here? Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21603 Posts	Posted 07/04/2021 09:22 am Saw one similar to this today on an earlier post. It would be a copper cent that someone has has removed part of the reverse. PMD You can't have a legitimate coin with a rim on only one side.

VestigeWolf Pillar of the Community United States 549 Posts	Posted 07/04/2021 10:48 am What about a die cap? Is that a possibility? Still learning here. Edited by VestigeWolf 07/04/2021 10:49 am Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 07/04/2021 10:52 am @vw, I don't think it is a die cap either--just damage on this one.

There is no rim on the OP's coin, a sure sign of deliberate damage. Correct typo Darn autocorrect Edited by JimmyD 07/04/2021 11:28 am Report this Post to the Staff
VestigeWolf Pillar of the Community United States 549 Posts	Posted 07/04/2021 11:46 am I was looking at error-ref. That's what made me think of it. Report this Post to the Staff

SmackRampage Valued Member United States 76 Posts	Posted 07/04/2021 4:03 pm Well that sucks... But as always thank you all for the feedback! Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 07/04/2021 5:38 pm Intentional large date 82 cent. Weight would suggest zinc, but certainly looks like copper. No way it's a die cap, no rim on the reverse. What are the odds we see two of these in a single day. Smells fishy. Report this Post to the Staff
