Hi all I have been reluctant to post but the more I look at it the more I see that I think cannot be PMD? Would appreciate any comments. Thanks   |

Nice photos! I'm thinking it's the result of rather vigorous post-strike damage. If coins could talk...

Agree Something untoward The closer I look at the detail using a microscope the more I think there is less PMD damage. If you look at the area preceding "in god" - you will note why I decided to post. Thanks for your reply |

I see the area that you are describing @psh. There simply isn't a way for this to happen during the striking process at the mint. Although it is odd-looking, it must be damage.

Thankyou for your comment
Have you noted slight doubling on reverse. This coin is an absolute mess - how it came to be - I have no idea!
I would love to clean but realise that would destroy any value, If any.

When metal has been push around like it has on this coin, you may see things that looks, maybe not right. Your coin has nothing but damage to it, so clean it all you want, it is too damaged to hurt it. Value will always be one cent or copper value in weight.

This poor coin is just mangled - possible 'parking lot' coin..

Just a very badly damaged cent. No errors. PMD. Errers and Varietys.
