Now I've seen damaged coins and own several, but none of em look like this damage! I'm just trying to figure out what could inflict such damage on a coin? Report this Post to the Staff

CCB420 Pillar of the Community United States 587 Posts	Posted 02/03/2022 6:21 pm I can't figure out how? What kind of machine/animal did they use to pull off such a feat? Report this Post to the Staff
mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2953 Posts	Posted 02/03/2022 6:22 pm Indeed, this is in its own world . It could have been in a machine shop, parking lot, in a small pile of loose pocket change in a farmers barn in the 50's that got damaged... Then ended up in this little collection.
