John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 08/03/2011 7:33 pm to CCF. It looks like post mint damage ( PMD). I am no pro so lets wait for a pro to chime in. John1 Edited by John1 08/03/2011 7:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff

PlumCrazy814 Pillar of the Community United States 885 Posts	Posted 08/03/2011 9:49 pm My guess: Someone was selling sissors and knives door to door and used the "fantastic" sissors to cut a penny for effect. I have seen this done. Report this Post to the Staff
chugly Valued Member United States 234 Posts	Posted 08/04/2011 02:29 am I agree with John1 and PlumCrazy81. Another case of PMD. This time from someone taking a pair of shears to it. Thankfully, at least its not a key date:). Report this Post to the Staff

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 08/05/2011 05:13 am I vote PMD also. I used to cut around Lincoln with my tin snips and sell them to people for a $1. I did this for years on job sites until Sears quit replacing my snips. They were losing so much money to sheet metal workers like me that they quit carrying Craftsman snips and started selling cheap snips without a the lifetime replacement guarantee.
