A Cat could have die polished this penny better with its claws

Meow is disappointed in the quality of some our circulating coinage. As a Cat could have die polished this penny better with its claws.

Meow is quite sure this is not PMD, as it seems clear to Meow that the scratches are bumps; And not gouges. Evident especially on and above LIBERTY.​

You may have already seen some coins that are missing numbers or letters as the result of a grease-filled die. Well, now you know what a coin can look like after those "dirty dies" have been cleaned.

Woof!

 

Sorry

 

Like this quarter. Looks like Ellis Island had a smog alert that day.

 

Well if they truly disappoint you.. just send them to me and I will keep them

(you can also get rid of any magnifier you have and you won't have to look at the molecular structure of your coins, I don't! .. it is bad for your eyes!)

 

NO! They all belong in the Cat hoard!

 

OK good.. Don't let any coin disappoint you. Just admire them. Damaged or not.

 

Great photos of all those cleaning lines.

 

Thanks. Meow thought it was a bit unusual to have so many of them on the penny. But Meow has set of quarters that have an unbelievable amount die polish lines. Meow posted it in the past, and was accused of posting a fake. Meow too thought it was PMD, until Meow found three identical ones in a BU roll. Its crazy looking for sure.

 

Anyone know what this clamp like mark is?

 

That looks like a removed staple. There's a 1976 D half around here somewhere with the staple still in it

 

Looks like cutting shears got it...?

 

A pair of dykes tried to remove a pie slice.

 

Because the marks are the same location on both sides, wire cutters, tin snips, metal shears or the like are the most likely cause.

 

You should start your own thread by going to the top of the home page and click on forums, find the one you want to post in.

 

LMAO.

 

It is humorous but also a legit term for a specific tool...

 

I was also temped to reply the op coin looked like it was attacked by a bastard (file that is)

Hey someone needs to try and keep up with Green....

 

Not a real good idea..... Jim
