Plantguy396 New Member United States 42 Posts	Posted 02/06/2022 7:14 pm I've got this off center 2-cent piece I bought for a couple bucks and was wondering if any of you experts could take a look and tell me what happened to it. The diagonal line on the obverse is depressed slightly, and I can't see a ridge of any kind. The spot on the reverse is raised considerably. Any help is appreciated!! Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16809 Posts	Posted 02/06/2022 8:43 pm I'd vote PMD; they look like mount marks to me. As to cause, I would guess that someone long ago turned that 2 cent coin into a button. Then someone else some time later decided to break the button apart and "salvage" the 2 cent coin. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
