I wasn't thinking of a three jaw chuck actually, I was thinking of multiple placements or attempts in a four jaw pincer type chuck used for facing and just mentioned I could see three damage points with a fourth or even fifth possible that I can't see.


True! A lathe shouldn't be completely discounted as a possibility.

Even though it's a homemade job, I wouldn't spend it. It has a unique look, and it only cost you a nickel. Put it aside.

here goes my old question:

Why in the world would anyone do this?
Fun?
Gain?
Is there perhaps the faintest possibility that it is NOT a basement/workshop job?
the old thing about eventually seeing something that you think should be there.... could it be you guys aseeing someting that is not there?
No disrespect..,.but....

Why do people put pennies on railroad tracks? Why do hockey players fight? It's all fun.

Can you explain what process inside a mint may have caused this?

No, sure can not, as I am not familiar with this process..
but there are a lot of "funny" coins out there...
just beats me that someone would do it.
