Gigi2 Valued Member United States 319 Posts	Posted 06/12/2024 1:23 pm Other than being cleaned, which I did because it was totally crusted and unreadable, what happened to the C in CENTS and the weird surface starting under the U in UNITED , covering most of the reverse?

Dearborn Moderator United States 94892 Posts	Posted 06/12/2024 1:34 pm It looks like a sharp hit to the C and moved the metal over Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/12/2024 1:36 pm Agree, and perhaps the coin was once buried as well. Report this Post to the Staff
Gigi2 Valued Member United States 319 Posts	Posted 06/12/2024 1:40 pm Yes, I though that as well, but how could it retain its shape? Seems unlikely to me, but this is the first one like this that I have encountered. Did you look at my question about the finish starting under the U? Thanks for your input.

Centinal Valued Member United States 263 Posts	Posted 06/12/2024 5:40 pm That's some heavy PMD right there. Looks like the C caught the wrong end of a pair of pliers or something. Report this Post to the Staff
