Hello everyone I’ve got a quick question and I know there’s plenty of y’all just waiting to break my heart and tell me oh that’s nothing bla bla bla … lol so here goes I found this in my pocket change and it looks to me like it possibly could be an error.. an on the off chance it is can we call it the (The HairBand) lol I’m a musician and I play country and blues the hairband just seems funny and cool lol anyhow break my heart I’m ready for it lol..
Okay, so you didn't like the Bigfoot joke. What do or who do you think made this and with what? Or was it a strange accident?
That is the receded edge from another coin. It either happened in the production process or the edge of another coin was squeezed in a press to create what you see. Either way it’s just damaged and makes the coin worth face value.
The size of the reeding makes me think someone rolled a dime edge across Georges’ forehead with quite a bit of forceful pressure…imo…Spark
Are those sitting up? They look like they may be raised on the coin. If so, they’re no reeding hit. And look here. The break in the continuity smack in the middle is a little strange, too, for a reeding hit…
I don't know the name of the hand tool, but it has a rotating disc with prongs at one end and is used in art to cut canvas to mount on boards and possibly with clothes patterns, or home made peanut brittle. I seem to recall it was also used for outlines on leather before cutting it. IMO.
This is closest image , and the pizza cutting wheel is made differently to make the best cut, the wheel I was referring to had a different flat wheel with VVVVVVVVV around the outer edge in different depth. [ ]
@eddiespin look at one of the less zoomed images. The hit stops because it crosses a depressed area in the design…
That’s a great catch. But two questions. 1) Why are the two rows ajar from one another? 2) Are these sitting up or down on the coin (they look to me like they’re sitting up)? I could see PMD if they’re recessed, even give they’re ajar.
Initially I thought it might be struck through reeding fragment, but nothing I know of has reeds that narrow. I count 35 or so ridges in the space of about 1cm and a dime has about 21 reeds per cm. A vibrating engraving tool is my guess.
@eddiespin im going to set aside @KBBPLL ’s post above for just a second. I’ve seen enough photos around here where raised/recessed is a total optical illusion that I try not to guess too much. In this case though what if the object hit one side of the damage and slid a bit to the other side? You’d get raised metal where it stopped moving. As I mentioned at the start of this post, KBBPL raises a good point. It doesn’t match the reeding spacing for pretty much anything…. The mystery deepens.
