You're probably the first person who actually took a good look at it. Fun!

 

Cept for the guy that hammered it

 

Posting things once is enough.

 

Hammered it with what exactly?

And how without damaging the coin? I'm not saying in not fake but just sayings its fake because you have never seen it before doesn't work. Looking for an explanation

You don't see the huge curved gash that goes through the middle of the coin? That definitely looks like damage...

 

But no damage on the rim at all

Trust me I have droughts as well but someone hammering that would damage the rim.

Droughts?

what does the reverse side look like?

 

This looks like it could be damaged or not. Can't wait to see how it turns out. When you first look it screams damage, but on further inspection...I'm not knowledgable enough on this to draw a conclusion.

 

Why is the word LIBERTY not backwards?

 

This cent was struck through the detached bottom of a late-stage die cap. The incuse, normally-oriented obverse design elements demonstrate that this is the case.

 

That is really cool, Mike. Thanks for sharing. Do you know where I can find photos of similar examples?

Awesome find BLN! It's always great to learn about something I never knew existed. Thanks for posting!

 

Didn't figure a hammer had anything to do with this coin.

 

If it had been done at the mint, the outer edge of the die would have been clean and not wide and unclear as the outer portion is. It was hammered, is my thought too. Sorry. If it had been done with a hand hydraulic ram , it could have had a clearer edge, as a die would done, but other factors are to be considered too.
