PMD.....notice how the metal is raised along the edge (crater effect) of Lincoln's hair.

yea, I saw that...but its plated all the way through it. I should have mentioned it is a 1986.

 

Someone could have hammered it with a metal spike laying on the coin.

 

It doesn't matter. The copper "skin" would still be visible on the surface.

Put it on ebay, some schmuck will buy it. "May be RARE, but I have no idea what it is!". LOL. (Spell check says Schmuck is a word?)

 

That was going to be my next suggestion if the OP disagreed!

Chris

 

You guys are great! I might just do that , and btw...i could care less if smuchk is a work, or if its even spelled correctly

 

Hence "work"

 

Really? Put it on eBay for some 'schmuck'? When those 'schmucks' come here for advise, we tell them to stay away from this type of thing or that they made a terrible mistake. Just because there are 'schmucks' out there doesn't mean we should advocate abusing them.

 

Thats not what they are saying. They want the schmucks who don't come here for advise to buy them, then after they learn the hard way...come here for great friends, advise, and help

 

yea, put something like that on ebay an you become a schmuck worse that the so called "schmuck" who buys it...

 

I agree with you on that, I do not think that the comment was mean't in the way some people think it was.

 

Just some silly humor. I wasn't really serious.

 

Thanks, that's a bit closer to what I was thinking....maybe. LOL.

 

I could use the $4 i could get from it.....

 

Looking at the pics some more, it looks like a little machine doubling there too...might be worth $5

 

Could be that someone is willing to pay a premium for this kind of damage. Regardless of the fact that it is POST MINT. Maybe this person is a schmuck, maybe they just dont know any better, but i wouldnt go so far as to call it abuse.

 

You might be onto something. People actually collect and pay premiums for counterstamped coins. It the same type of inflicted damage with a foreign object; counterstamps just happen to have a recognizable pattern.

 

It looked like a staple got around it to me, thats why i posted for the pros.
