<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ksmooter61, post: 26573861, member: 169607&quot;]It&#039;s always fun trying to figure out how/why someone intentionally altered coins like this. I would agree with [USER=22729]@BRandM[/USER] and [USER=19165]@physics-fan3.14[/USER] that it might have been a game token of some sort. I put them into excel and adjusted to see how things line up.</p><p><br /></p><p>There appears to be about an 8° rotation on the reverse, and the damage on the obverse aligns pretty well with the 3 &amp; 5. It would appear that when struck the coin was on a hard corrugated surface. The strikes are clear and fairly well aligned and the corrugation lines up pretty well.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1693251[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Not sure what the other strike or strikes were on the obverse rim at Lincoln&#039;s bust; it almost looks like it was two strikes as the corrugation is not perfectly straight. Hard to tell from the photo of the obverse what was struck there, just two damage lines show, wonder what they were trying to do.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1693252[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Very cool MTK - I would put it in a flip or an album and keep for posterity![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
