BJ Neff Pillar of the Community United States 526 Posts	Posted 09/01/2011 08:38 am I believe that the coin has been subjected to heat, more than likely a propane torch or similar device. BJ Neff Report this Post to the Staff

ljenkins990 Valued Member United States 406 Posts	Posted 09/01/2011 09:52 am Interesting looking coin, for sure. I'm going to call it a 1977-D. Report this Post to the Staff
bjones Valued Member United States 304 Posts	Posted 09/01/2011 10:58 am I agree with John1. Also either a 1977, 1997, or 1999 D. Report this Post to the Staff

It has the reverse type common to those years, but the last two digits are too mutilated to tell. This coin was definitely worked over after it left the mint. This is post mint damage.
