Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 12/30/2021 10:20 am The rim looks like intentional damage, don't think that it's an error. The colour looks kind of off to me, what's the coins weight? Report this Post to the Staff
chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 12/30/2021 10:40 am That edge rim is interesting but I can't think of anything in the minting process that would cause that. I'm no expert. Those with much more knowledge than I will be along shortly. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/30/2021 10:44 am How could this be done? Image using a file to lay over the rim on the edge of the coin. Then smack it lightly with a hammer. This will leave the lines on the file on that edge of the coin. Repeat this a few times and make it look like it was done at them mint. But is actually now a damaged coin. Have I done this before. No. But seeing the coin gave me the thought on how this could be accomplished. (My brain works like that) Report this Post to the Staff
