...here's another odd one I found in a roll, but I don't think that it was caused by using a "vise"!, and it isn't flat on the reverse as if it had been ground down. So what is it?
I finally finished the canning for the year and am now able to relax and enjoy my crh-ing. Wish I had CT posts coming into my email inbox though. After trying many times to get them, it just didn't happen.
That came to mind, but it looks different than any dryer coin that I've seen. And if that were the case, wouldn't it affect the obverse as well? No offense, but the reverse you posted looks like it skidded along the road or something.
Reverse edge is very roundly tapered from wear. I think it must be a dryer or washing machine coin that continuously slid on the reverse for most of its entrapment. Dryer coin can have a variety of damages due to being trapped in different areas of the machines.
When I make mine, unless the coin can escape the gap between the fixed and moving drum only one side will wear down. I caught mine after one cycle. However, I’ve made ‘error’ coins with damage on both. Those find a way up out of the grove and then find their way back 180 in the other direction. Your specimen was likely made in an industrial, coin operated washer or dryer. Just the look of it suggests that to me.
I asked about this in April and was told that was no longer an option. Maybe a software issue, but not coming back. The only ones you can get in your email are ones that you have commented on.
Yes, I really do magic. Mostly close up stuff. Linking rings, multiplying balls, floating ball, but mostly card tricks and manipulations. What do you dabble in?
