coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/26/2021 11:31 am Damage to a coin, does not make it worth extra value. It turns it into a cull coin and this one is just worth face. Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21580 Posts	Posted 10/26/2021 12:00 pm I'd say it was worth 5 cents if you could get someone to accept it. Report this Post to the Staff
chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 10/26/2021 12:36 pm Could be wrong but I believe that this coin was used to bypass an old style screw in type fuse in an electrical panel. Amperage was being drawn in this circuit when this was inserted and the bad fuse was tightened down onto it. That's why it was blown to kingdom come. Damaged the heck out of the socket in the panel too I'm sure.
