At first I thought someone just messed with the coin to make it look like this. When I was surfing around trying to find something like this. The best I could come up with is "incomplete plating,". just looking for assistance in identifying what happened to this coin. * Edited by Staff to Add Denomination to Title.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95456 Posts	Posted 08/21/2023 7:56 pm looks like damage, but how could the rime and motto on the obverse be completely missing, but the rim is present on the reverse. Need better images, full coin image (in one picture) of both sides and an accurate weight will be a great start. more importantly an edge on image will tell what happened here. Collecting since 1972.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95456 Posts	Posted 08/21/2023 7:58 pm For now, I'll say that somebody started removing material around the circumference of the obverse of this cent.

Sap Moderator Australia 16816 Posts	Posted 08/21/2023 8:56 pm There is no way that a coin can get damaged like that while it is being struck. It must have been damaged after it left the mint. Either deliberately (someone applying a dremel or some such) or accidentally (the coin got caught in machinery of some kind). I'd tend to lean towards "deliberate", since accidental machine damage tends to be more random than this. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15409 Posts	Posted 08/22/2023 05:11 am to the CCF That is not a mint error but as already said damage that occurred after release into circulation. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

dbm62933 New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 08/23/2023 3:46 pm Thank you for your input. Due to the fact that the circumference around the coin being the same as a coin roller ring damage. Pretty sure that is where it occurred. I appreciate all the assistance. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95456 Posts	Posted 08/23/2023 3:49 pm I highly doubt that a coin rolling machine caused this kind of damage.. a rolling machine has little claws set in 3 or 4 locations that curl up under the paper to roll in in, there fore a continous scrape is just not feasible.

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 08/23/2023 5:03 pm Yes no way it's from a crimper. The first 2 pics are strange. It looks like the obverse rim is scraped out to about the size of a quarter, and the reverse isn't affected. Or is that circle part of the holder? Report this Post to the Staff
