Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 10/20/2022 10:44 pm Just a beat-up old cent with circulation marks that resemble real things, like animal shapes in the clouds. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19120 Posts	Posted 10/21/2022 6:58 pm Counterstamp A stamp or impression placed on a coin after it has left the Mint of origin. Counterstamps were frequently used as advertising gimmicks on large cents and other coins. The counterstamp leaves a permanent impression on the metal and may hurt the value of the coin. It may also help the value, as in the case of an Ephriam Brasher counterstamp. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/22/2022 12:46 pm Damage can be created on a coin. If one side of the coin is affected post strike, then they opposite side will show a push out on the other side. That is what I'm seeing on your coin. If it was a die issue, then there would be a lot of these out there. (Not just one) No others found, then it is probably just coin damage. If it were on the die, it would have been on every coin struck with those dies. Report this Post to the Staff
