foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 02/15/2009 11:02 pm It was altered outside of the Mint. There is no way to tell what the reason was. Perhaps it was going to be made into a piece of coin jewelry. There really is no way to tell why it was done but it is damage of some kind. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff

FrostCross Valued Member Canada 94 Posts	Posted 02/22/2009 8:28 pm Wow just noticed on the really bent coin that I thought was a nickle...it's actually a 1983 quarter!here is a pic in comparison next to a regular quarter...the bent one looks a bit smaller in diameter too which is why I thought it was a nickle...I think these are cool art forms just the way they are.I normally put the not so bent ones back into circulation after a tweak or so but these are far beyond saving.

adanak44 Valued Member Canada 207 Posts	Posted 02/23/2009 2:38 pm Thanks for all the inputs. If we try to use a vise or something holding the coin and try to bent it to few different angles without cause any mark and damage to the edges? May be just like what Bill said " No way to tell Why" Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff
