Appears to have been encased at some point, not an off center strike

Very peculiar, I'll let the learned folks speak on this but looks like the planchet never got the proto rim.

Agree, encased at one point, not a mint error.  to the CCF! |

There are what looks like flow lines outside of the little bit of rim that is showing that leads me to believe this what not encased. OP, if you could show four pics, at 1/4 turns, that would show all of the edge of the coin, that would be great. If encased at some point, it should show a choke point. Look at the third pic down, It could be smaller in size though. LINK http://goccf.com/t/404569&SearchTerms=choke -makecents-

What do you mean encased? Like in a 2x2?

Definitely an Encased Coin. I've come across some of these before. An Encased Coin is commonly a Lincoln Cent inside an aluminum ring that has words on it. Can be a form of advertising or simply a good luck souvenir. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?

Encased for sure, the edge pictures further confirm it.

Sure looks to like a previously encased coin—we see them from time to time here. It counts as damage, but it is still fun to find a Wheat cent in the wild. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

At the risk of piling on, yes, a formerly encased coin--imperfect as that encasement might have been.

Thanks for the extra pics, Fdock9. Looks like an Encased Coin is correct, this one just looked odd to me. For future reference, don't handle the faces of the coin with your bare hands, just in case it is something rare. -makecents-

The first picture of the second set of the coin on edge shows that it was crushed a bit. I'll go with a former Encased Coin as well. |
