MakesNoCentsToMe Valued Member United States 299 Posts	Posted 11/03/2022 6:15 pm Found this today. On the obverse from approx. 2:00 to 5:00 it looks funky. Maybe put in a vise from another dime? The area in question is incuse so definitely not a die break. It probably needs tossed but just can't bring myself to do it until I can figure out what happened. Would appreciate any thoughts so I can lay this one to rest. Thanks. Edited by MakesNoCentsToMe 11/03/2022 6:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I've used coins to help align a motor or other shop equipment that doesn't fit quite right. Once it's removed, it can show this kind of flattening and erosion at the edge.

MakesNoCentsToMe Valued Member United States 299 Posts	Posted 11/03/2022 8:55 pm @Yoko We have a machine shop and brother used a Lincoln Shield as a shim. Once I kind of got into this last year he jokingly gave it to me and said "What kind of error is this?" I threw it in the trash! Hahha. Wasn't even putting it back into circulation because I knew it would just screw someone up (like me) if they ever found it in change. :) Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95805 Posts	Posted 11/03/2022 9:02 pm We see so many damaged coins here, each one is an individual in its own right.

MakesNoCentsToMe Valued Member United States 299 Posts	Posted 11/03/2022 9:17 pm You are right @Dear. In the last year I've learned Dryer Coins, zinc rot, parking lot coins, acid coins, buried coins, coin wrappers ' Ring of Death' et al. Plus having cool names like "Parking Lot Coin" sounds cooler than just saying PMD. Report this Post to the Staff
