slayernater New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 03/08/2022 11:50 am At first I thought someone just clipped or bent the edge over, but looking closer it looks like the lettering on "states of" is warped downwards with the defect. I'd imagine if someone were to try this after mint, it would not warp the lettering like this? Edited by slayernater 03/08/2022 11:50 am Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/08/2022 1:43 pm The sure clue that the coin was altered? Note the rim that was on the outside edge of the coin, is now pushed inwards on this coin? That rim when struck was on the outside edge of the coin. Thus moved, it proves the coin was altered post strike. If it were a straight clipped planchet, it would not have that mark on that area of the coin. Why would that area be missing from the planchet? It would occur when the clipping of the blanks were over the edge of the stock material. CoopHome: Why do straight clips happen. And how can fakes be determined?
