<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 182361, member: 1242&quot;]Very interesting piece! However, it appears to me that it may be Post Mint and man made! My thoughts are that someone melted down another cent and poured some of the melted metal on to the coin and used some sort of mold to press the unique design (pattern) into it and they would have had to created a ring to go around the coin to keep the molten metal from flowing over the edge (rim) of the coin. I could be wrong but the only other way that I could theorize that it would be an error is that the Obverse Die had an air bubble in the metal and that sometime during the minting process, the metal on the face of the Die shattered and created the unique pattern when striking the cent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
