Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 03/14/2024 12:01 am Here's one that's up for bid on ebay that I'm watching (currently bid is $100, ends in about 15 hours). Possible end of roll ragged clip? Other? What do you think? 156098337633 ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2731 Posts	Posted 03/14/2024 12:16 am I'll guess an incomplete clip on a rolled thin planchet that separated after strike.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95254 Posts	Posted 03/14/2024 08:09 am I don't see how that could make it into the striking chamber and get struck up Especially the reeds on the 'good' edge - how could the collar have held it good enough to impress the reeds in to it when there is nothing at the opposite end?

mcshilling Pillar of the Community Canada 9156 Posts	Posted 03/14/2024 09:12 am PMD I think someone was playing around and tried to see what they could do. Report this Post to the Staff
oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 4135 Posts	Posted 03/14/2024 09:51 am I do not have enough knowledge on these to be taken serious but the coin looks like it has been in circulation. Hair shows wear and has a variety of nicks throughout. Of course assuming the coin was a normal one piece at one time. Report this Post to the Staff
Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 03/14/2024 11:19 am Very wild and interesting coin find!! Indeed it looks like a severely purposely damaged coin. Lawnmower got your penny. Edited by Tacc 03/14/2024 11:21 am Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 03/14/2024 12:05 pm I can't make up my mind if I want to chance this one or not. If seems *to me* that most of the defects on the coin look legit, but one or two do seem to look more like just a damaged coin. Now, all I need to do is figure out if that damage could have been from the striking process, or as mcshilling says, someone's attempt to make an error coin. Dearborn, I'm asking myself the same thing about the coin as well. Coin still has one bid of (at least) $100. I can skip a few meals in the next couple of weeks, and I may have to look in my couch cushions for some extra 'mad money', but I'm leaning hard towards taking the chance. Still have about 3½ hours to decide. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 03/14/2024 2:24 pm I think it's legit. The struck in areas on the reverse sells me. If it was damage that big it should show on the obverse. Incomplete planchet. Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 03/14/2024 2:35 pm I just got the okay from my wonderful wife to 'go for it!' as she said. I'm still waiting for the tiny part of my brain that isn't sure about the coin to give in to the part that likes it. I'm not above leaving my laptop open on the floor covered in cat treats with a bid amount entered. That way if the cat steps on the 'bid' button in the next hour, It's not MY fault, he bid on it!

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 03/14/2024 2:48 pm That might be a cattastrophy. Hope you get it. Looks good to me. Report this Post to the Staff
kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 03/14/2024 2:50 pm The rim is so damaged that I have doubts that it was struck like that. Areas along the edges look like the metal was shorn off. I would want an explanation as to how this could happen at the mint before purchasing. Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 03/14/2024 3:39 pm sigh Oh well. I was outbid at the last second. I hoped that I could get it for around $150, but someone else wanted it more. It went for $158, THANKS to everyone who commented! It really helped me think this one through.

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 03/14/2024 3:46 pm Was watching it. Was going to put in a bid for 105. just in case you didn't. I still think it's good. Report this Post to the Staff
