jbukont New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 08/21/2011 2:25 pm It almost looks to me like it was being crushed. Like someone started to put it into one of those machines that turns a penny into a commemerative token. So my guess is PMD, but it's just that, a big guess. Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 08/21/2011 5:51 pm As others have indicated, the extra letters on the reverse were applied after the coin left the mint. This cent was struck on the reverse by a token die, such as those that are used to strike the ring of a "lucky token" cent. The left side of the obverse was distorted in the process.
