Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7516 Posts	Posted 01/27/2023 5:56 pm It looks like an off-center strike with minor cupping . Report this Post to the Staff
bobby131313 Forum Dad United States 24171 Posts	Posted 01/27/2023 6:01 pm The obverse looks like it, but how is the reverse look perfectly struck but out of round? Shop CCF Members on eBay. Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8781 Posts	Posted 01/27/2023 6:18 pm Looks like a pipe or tubing job to me. Just an off the wall garage job. Could be wrong though.... I often am. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
bobby131313 Forum Dad United States 24171 Posts	Posted 01/27/2023 6:29 pm I'm thinking this..... Someone took a pipe, slightly bigger in ID than the cent, and smacked it on the obverse. That's why the design on the obverse is obliterated, and the reverse is stretched. You can even see the scrapes for whatever flat surface the reverse was on. Just a hunch. Shop CCF Members on eBay.

Dearborn Moderator United States 97162 Posts	Posted 01/27/2023 7:47 pm I agree with a pipe job here, the coin is oblong in that direction as well. Collecting since 1972.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/28/2023 1:15 pm Looks altered. If it were an off center, why are part of Liberty missing? It looks like damage to the coin to me. the reverse is not showing the same thing, but showing flattening on that opposite side. Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 01/31/2023 5:04 pm This looks counterfeit too me. There should be damage to one side or the other if it was a pipe job. Report this Post to the Staff
