<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 25342856, member: 27832&quot;]Hi Adam, and welcome to CoinTalk!</p><p><br /></p><p>The features you&#039;re seeing on this cent are damage that occurred after it was minted. See how the second Memorial image on the back is <i>incuse</i> (indented)? That happens when another coin gets pounded into it, with a hammer or a vise. The concentric circles on the obverse (front) are also damage, probably from a spinning tool. It&#039;s hard to be sure what took off the rims (and maybe some of the edge as well?), but that was likely also from a tool -- someone may have put this on a lathe or something.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are other members here who specialize in error collecting, and I&#039;m hoping one of them will post some references for you to check out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Enjoy going through the collection, and be sure to post anything else interesting you find![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
