I’ll let the pictures tell the story...

I feel sorry for the OP, its got to hurt to jump off so many bridges.

 

Hi, I'm new here and don't know much about coins. I have a question about this coin. If another coin was placed over it and then smashed to make an imprint over the one coin why didn't the rim of the coin get damaged? Especially where the number eight is concerned shouldn't the rim of the coin have damage? The imprint seems to be contained inside the coin only. Thanks for all responses!

 

You should try and start a new thread with that question and any pictures you might have. Very difficult to answer that question. There could be dozens of explanation on how that could happen.

 

I assume you're asking about the coin at the beginning of this thread?

I would guess that it was sitting on a surface that wasn't perfectly flat, and perhaps that the blows were struck with a narrow hammer, one that only applied pressure to part of the coin. Or it could be that the coin is bent (as a result of being struck), and we can't see that from the photos provided.

Thank you for your response. This is not my coin, I just had a question about it. Trying to learn as much as I can about how errors happen. I am also trying to post my error coin.

 

Thank you so much!
