Double Mint Pillar of the Community United States 810 Posts	Posted 04/15/2011 10:03 pm Im sorry Gracie but this was done after it left the Mint. Theres not a single type of error that could do this to a penny. It was most likely done by a grinding wheel by someone with alot of time on there hands. So to be bearer of the bad news its only worth a penny. Report this Post to the Staff
Changeless Valued Member 273 Posts	Posted 04/15/2011 10:07 pm Great post! Here's two questions that might help: Is the orientation of the cent design on the reverse rotated 90 degrees in relation to the design on the obverse? (as might be suggested by the orientation of your images (above). If so... that would be really REALLY weird. Lastly, what is the "provenience" of the coin? (that is... by what string of ownership did it pass into your hands.) This could tell a lot of the story. Edited by Changeless 04/15/2011 10:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff
TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 04/15/2011 10:34 pm The coin was ground off in some way except where the center is. You can see it was done in increments too. There are lines going at an angle from the edge to the raised copper center. Every 5 or 10 degrees or so I would say. Just an altered coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Click on my profile where you will see some quotes I got permission to use from other good sports. Thank you! I think you meant to say you looked at it through a loupe though.
