A Good Hello To Everybody; Well if you went to A and B, I hope you will *see* this one differently because I am totally stuck as to what caused this. Thanks to everybody who shared their knowledge and wisdom.Enjoy a wonderful day and smile at the world.
I saw your coin on A and B. The answer has not changed. It was damaged after leaving the mint. D and E will garner the same answer. So don't post it again. Spend it.
A vise or Lawn mower, it could have been used as a shim to level something, there are so many variables to the question of PMD. It did not leave the mint this way.
Grease Filled Die issue. After some use the Die used to strike the coin will build up debris or grease after cleaning. The Incused areas of the die becomes clogged and won't allow the Blank Planchet being struck to be properly struck. Your Cent is a great example.
