to the CCF It might be super cool but it is a damaged coin worth 10 cents it you can get someone to accept it. If you are going to get into coin collecting, suggest you do a lot of reading and research. There is a wealth of information in the sidebar and online as well as reading previous posts on this forum. One important thing is that it is only an error if it happens during the striking of the coin at the mint. Anything that happens after that is damage. Edited by JimmyD

NewGirlcollect. Hope you don't feel like users are piling on or being mean, they aren't. While everyone is in agreement on this coin, often you'll see a variety of opinions with plenty of back and forth in support of those opinions. It's great to have you here and there's a lot to learn so be patient and ask questions. |

Anything that happens after that is damage. Just so you know: coins which have been gold or silver plated (or colorized) after minting are also considered damaged coins, and as such have lost some of their original value. |

If you find a coin that you could pretty much duplicate by hitting an undamaged coin with a hammer, or scraping it against pavement, os similar, that's most likely what happened to the one you found. Experienced collectors dont't consider them interesting because any quantity of them can be made at will.

Just a face value train wrecked coin. When it gets back to the bank, they will eventually send it to the mint to be cancelled.
