coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/08/2022 10:36 am Note the raised distortion on the coin. It was damaged after it was struck. The moved metal is the clue. Report this Post to the Staff
904dan Valued Member United States 121 Posts	Posted 02/08/2022 10:42 am So no chance it was Struck multiple times..especially with it lined up from reverse to obverse with the same looking situation Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/08/2022 1:27 pm Just one of the many marks on your coin turns it into a cull coin. Just a face value coin. (copper melt though) Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 02/08/2022 2:25 pm You have to look at it like when you gouge a coin the gouged-out metal has to go somewhere. So, it is raised on the surface. Report this Post to the Staff
nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 02/08/2022 4:54 pm find an undamaged cent, drop it on the road or sidewalk, press down on it with your foot, drag the cent across the pavement, voila road rash Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19146 Posts	Posted 02/08/2022 5:10 pm Post-strike damage, coin didn't exit the striking chamber in that condition. Copper is a relatively soft metal and can be shaped in many interesting ways as it is struck, dragged across rough surfaces, etc. Report this Post to the Staff
904dan Valued Member United States 121 Posts	Posted 02/08/2022 7:19 pm Last two I swear so instead of the Columns rotate the memorial 90° and get multiple strikes Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95517 Posts	Posted 02/08/2022 8:57 pm Looks like this coin was on the ground, like pavement or rough concrete, and something heave slid on it several timed creating these gouges.
