<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 2540508, member: 15199&quot;]If it was lapping , I would hate to see what grinding would do. As a facetor, I use laps charged with diamond grit to smooth and polish the surfaces, I assume for metal working it would be the same. I think the working die that produced the cent was&nbsp; ground down or partially destroyed, but someone accidentally ( or more likely on purpose} pressed it with a transfer reverse die and then struck a few coins for fun and profit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
