Action Jaxson New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 08/30/2023 11:43 pm I found this coin roll hunting and my heart dropped #129327; it looks very worth having it authenticated to me what you folks think? It's the same weight and thickness of 1919 of same condition. Thanks for looking #128064; * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by Action Jaxson 08/31/2023 12:44 am Report this Post to the Staff

Not worth having authenticated in my opinion, but a real expert may have a different opinion. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

cointagous Pillar of the Community United States 1143 Posts	Posted 08/31/2023 12:53 am The difference in thickness is because the coin was planed off on the reverse and is not a mint error. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 08/31/2023 03:27 am Action Jaxson, to CCF. Looks like PMD to me and not worth sending it in. As to weight. Seems odd because if the reverse was removed it should weigh less, right? Might have started out as a heavy planchet? Normal weight is 3.1 grams +/- .13 grams mint tolerance.

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 08/31/2023 09:29 am All damage. Reverse has been ground down with am abrasive, and the obverse has a big gash. None of it is a minting error. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94728 Posts	Posted 08/31/2023 09:31 am This is full on intentional damage to the reverse - completely sanded off and just circulation damage on the obverse.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73628 Posts	Posted 08/31/2023 12:12 pm To CCF! I agree, not a mint error. Just sanded off on the reverse, heavily scratched and circulated. Not worth the time or money getting it graded at all. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 08/31/2023 12:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff
