I put this coin to a side last week while going over the bulk world coin I bought. Thinking at first that its another mutilated coin so I place it to one side.

Now that I decide to go over again, its actually a error on the planchet, condition is uncirculated and weight 6.25 g. I though I saw this one somewhere else but can't remember where or when. Is there any value to coins like these?

The coin has been smashed on one side, it is out of round. If it was perfectly rounded, it could have been an underweight planchet if it was tapered on that end. Looking at the other 2/3 of the coin, it is obvious that is was struck in collar so PMD is the only way it could be out of round.

someone has taken the reverse literally, and you can see irregularities hammered into the coin.
