It didn't leave the Mint that way. Somebody clipped it or ground the edge down. It is now a damaged coin and worth melt value, maybe a tad more...
Your coin was struck with Lincoln Cent dies. If it had been struck by nickel dies it would look like a nickel. Can you post a GOOD photo of the...
It has the appearance of a cast counterfeit Fugio cent.
What exactly was wrong with what LD stated? He said what I was thinking. The 42/1-D overdate is not as obvious as the 42/1. That's why it took 20...
I'll go 66. Super clean cheek and fields. A few chicken scratches on the reverse on either side of the eagle are about the only detractions. Nice...
The craps table offers better odds. Plus, you can have a little fun while you are losing your money playing craps.
By all means return the coins and cancel the order on the other coins. The small price it will cost you is a drop in the bucket compared to the...

Before about 1990 (sorry, but I cannot recall the exact date) mintmarks were hand-punched into the working dies. If the working die was doubled...
I thought you had already asked about this coin on another thread.
If you can post a good, clear photo we might be able to help you.
Very cool. It looks as if a portion of the clad layer fell off after the coin was struck.
Guy, Did you get a chance to see the set of Commems on display in the ANA Museum? Almost every coin is the highest known grade and most are...
Railroad rim partial collar strike. Nice find! You should hold the coin by the edges so you don't damage it.
The "sentry cannon" is the designer's initials that appear on every Peace Dollar. I have no idea what your other questions mean.
That's a cool find. I haven't found a steel cent in a long, long time. They were fairly common in the '60s but seemed to disappear in the early '70s.
