coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/14/2022 12:03 pm Looks like post strike damage. Note the reverse is still showing the rim, but it is distorted. So at one time after the strike the coin was normal. (I've seen this before in the past) Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 11/14/2022 3:17 pm Looks like obverse was set on the end of a pipe, then either hit with a hammer or set in a press of center and pressed. Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 11/14/2022 3:57 pm That one is awesome damage! I bet it got sold a couple times as an error before it got zapped by someone who knows better. I'm also in the "pressed" corner with this one. I'm thinking the reverse was buffered maybe with leather while the obverse was allowed to show the details of the pipe or whatever was up against it. Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 11/14/2022 9:35 pm Unless you caused the damage, it's difficult to tell what caused this damage, but damage it is, post mint. Interesting shapes can be made, but no value is added to such a damaged coin. Report this Post to the Staff
