Plantguy396 New Member United States 42 Posts	Posted 07/11/2022 11:05 pm I'm thinking PMD because of the varying angles the damage takes, but from what? Did they just take an angle grinder to it? Or am I wrong and it isn't PMD? FYI I'm only asking for info from the people on here looking to educate and explain. The rest is just extra and unnecessary. Thanks in advance!

Something really heavy, maybe a forklift, rolled onto the edge and took out the rim, LIB of LIBERTY, IN G, part of the wheat ear and E P from E PLURIBUS UNUM. I don't think the surfaces have been ground away, just crushed! If you can get a weight on the coin, I think you'll find it's still 3.11 grams, or very close.

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21611 Posts	Posted 07/12/2022 1:00 pm With it being out of round, it has been crushed or flattened somehow. Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 07/12/2022 2:46 pm This cent has certainly witnessed better days. As mentioned, the edge has been flattened out, definitely post mint damage. This coin did not leave the mint looking this way; there is nothing in the minting process that would cause this damage. The lack of a rim on the upper left obverse is the biggest single indicator of post mint damage. Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 07/12/2022 6:25 pm Classic hammer strike. They struck it twice. If it was a grinder the devices would be gone, and it wouldn't be out around. Edited by Cujohn 07/12/2022 6:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff
