well not sure if those above pics work for you guys, im having trouble with my putfile for whatever reasons.

so here let me try this:




ok....i dont know, whats the trick to post images?

 

I can see your picture just fine however I do not think it is a error I could be wrong but it looks to me if someone used a spoon on it trying to make some jewelry.

Hmmm...

I know nothing about errors

But if it matters, the flat (the rim flat by 'in god we trust' still has the 'knurling' or lines around the rim and do not look misplaced from all the rest of the rim lines around the round part of rim....... Not sure how else to describe that.

 

Ok there will be someone here soon we have alot of error members here that can help and welcome to our forum glad to have you:hail:

Bruce.

 

imo it looks to be post mint damage and not an error. like Bruce said look's like somebody warped it with something and the used a vise to flatten it again.

i see what you guys are saying.


if what you guys are saying happened to a coin, then wouldn't the knurl lines around the rim be condensed or deformed on the unnatural flats of the round?

i gotta get some better pics up.

 

maybe a bit, but it only looks to be squeezed hard enough to flatten it or hit with something. imo

Hmmm..

I think I'll be sticking to collecting my bullion coins

Thanks for the replies guys.

I'll still post some better pics just to be sure....plus I can use the practice with the macro setting. :shrug:

 

I am no expert, thats what it looks like to me.

Not so fast collecting errors is a fun hobby just ask some more questions and go to our error section on are forum there are alot of members here that will help you on error coins don't give up so easy good luck.:hail:

Bruce.

 

Also, it would not be possible to put reeds on a coin of that shape. Thus, it is not an error.

 

Ohh...

I was for whatever reason thinking the opposite. How do they put the reeds on coins anyhow?

 

​

The reeding is placed on the coin by a rigid collar, that could not adapt to an irregularly shaped coin, so the reeding on yours is absolute proof of after-mint damage.

Here is an example of a coin that has been "spooned" into a ring:



Among other places, you can read more about how this is done in the first and fifth links of this Google search.

There have also been several threads on the subject here at CoinTalk. Use the forum search function to find them.

BTW if that was an aborted attempt at spooning, it was a dreadful failure.

 

Thanks a bunch people!

I did learn a thing or two today.
