<p>[QUOTE="jumpingrat, post: 114774, member: 4584"]Hi. It appears that the back may have been sanded down, notice the parallel abrasions. How thick is the coin? If it's the same thickness or even a bit thicker than a regular cent than it could be a genuine error. If it's thinner than a regular cent then it has been altered post mint. I used to work in a machine shop and have seen some pretty odd things being done to coins and one of then was feeding cents through a power belt sander, why the guy was doing that I never figured out though.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
