Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 06/29/2023 10:17 pm For sure that is mechanical damage, but I don't think that the coin rolling machines are putting this high of a load to deform the letters this much. If so, wouldn't they be tearing the paper?

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 06/30/2023 07:06 am It is PMD and I am leaning towards something like a Gumball Machine. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97730 Posts	Posted 06/30/2023 07:29 am could be a Gumball Machine - but the marks are far too recent and shiny to have been done long ago. I haven't even seen a penny Gumball Machine around my town lately, but seeing how I'm far too old to look for those machines, who knows. Looking closely at the marks, they all show metal getting moved from the rings deep gouge towards the center of the coin all the way around it - which would also preclude Rolling Machine Damage too, as the claws would have an outwards movement when crimping the paper roll.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19219 Posts	Posted 06/30/2023 07:53 am Years ago I found a Wheat cent end coin in a commercially-wrapped (Loomis) cent roll. The coin was freshly damaged by the wrapping machine in just this manner. Edited by ijn1944 06/30/2023 07:55 am Report this Post to the Staff
