    As a young boy I put this one on a RR Track some time in the 1950's. Can it still qualify as "damaged" if it was premeditated?

    Here’s another fun damaged piece I own. Spanish Reale with a 1778/77 date. But for the life of me I cannot figure out the damage on either side of the obverse. It honestly looks like where a worm ate an apple when you cut the apple in two. A complete mystery to me... And I love it.

    This is my favorite mutilated coin: a Lincoln cent of unknown year (I think it's a memorial cent based on what's left of the reverse) - if we join it with the very mutilated nickel above, we're well on our way to a mutilated mint set!

    This one has endured a tough life.
    Holed, filled, gold test file marks on the edge and then a loop attached.

    IF I'd have to guess...
    The Spanish Reale was part of a bracelet at one time.
    The Indian head cent was cryogenically frozen and hit with a blunt object.

    So I’m seeing old solder points you think?

    I can only guess that there were discontinuities in the metals. I have seen similar cases where even high grade steel could have segregation that could prevent complete bonding.

    I never thought of that. I think it is possible for the IHC, but, I don't see an impact point.

    It was a dark and rainy Monday night in Baltimore late in October 1822. Miss Liberty was counting out the receipts from her boarders prior to taking them to bank the following morning when there came a knock on the kitchen door...

    Who was it who broke in and savagely slit Miss Liberty's throat?
