Poor Abe.

 

Ok, I felt sorry for abe trying to find a reason to keep him

 

Ditto. If the OP had a photo to begin with, please keep it up. Nothing to be ashamed of. We all learn and some day your post could help someone else new to the hobby learn as well!

 

Is was so bad, I should have known better lol

 

No problem. Just saying for future. Even if it's a face palm after we've all taken a look at it. It might help a newer budding collector in the future. Happy hunting!

 

It wasn't that bad and in fact if it didn't have the obvious couple of gouges in it, the question that you raised about the rest of the anomaly would have been a bit more interesting.

 

I really don't know. I'm with Sgt. Schultz.

Ok, no more deleting, sorry, here it is. Question was: if you can see past the gash is there a struck through? The rim of coin is smooth, the reverse is pushed to the point of it worn, no signs of " excess" copper in areas in question

 

DEFDAM - Definitely Damaged

Don't delete it

 

Copy that!!! ; )

 

It's damaged and I don't mean the gash.

 

Yes this one has easy to see damage . I was on a certain website yesterday and a few sellers were trying to sell some coins as errors that were beat up much more than this one as errors , people were actually bidding on them. another budding website had some for sale for 49.000 that were beat to death and I'm not kidding.

 

Don't you think this:

and


is opposite each other?
like they were put in a vice or some type of scissor device that squashed it ?
also the rim looks very slightly pushed out, which means that in a minting press the collar forces a coin to be round. If some coin isn't round then it happened after minting (unless there was no collar in which the coin would look totally different). The copper is not going to over come the strength of a hardened steel collar.

 

Obviously not
