It looks more like the coin has been spooned or was in the dryer for a bit.

 

Can you get a better pic of the edge? Is their any reeding?

 

straight on shot of the rim, that image looks like a rail-road rim !!!

 

I do redact my dryer/spooned coin until further debate. It does look odd.

 

we need a straight on shot of the rim

 

this coin was formerly an encased coin, similar to a lucky penny..........

 

Hi, Ziggy

 

I'm thinking the reverse is from a worn die, a lot of the shield cent have the same issue, with the rim !!

 

Looks like an encased coin in the past to me.

(Richard, sorry I couldn't spend some time with you at the MSNS show, as you could tell I was being pulled in 20 different directions that day)

 

Thats ok, I'll see you at the next show !!!

 

Here are a few more pics.

 

The reeding was erased and the edge deformed outside the mint.

 

After seeing the new pics it does seem like a previously encased coin.

 

Not sure what you mean by that?

 

same as i said earlier. it was once encased in a ring like the lucky penny tokens the ring is pressed around the coin which makes the rim look like that.

 

Ok thanks. I have a new one for you. Will post another coin. Posting a new thread. 1974 bronze penny?

 

Lucky token (encased) coins have an edge that is concave in vertical cross-section. This edge bulges out. So it's some other form of damage/alteration.

 

Mike, I'm checking out the mad clash site, can I get you some of my die clash coins, I don't know what the turn around times is, or how busy you are, some will be good for some articles too !!!
