    Intentional Damage/mutilation.
    Shot with a square bullet.

    1st "mutalated" coin I came across scrolling threw my pics... but considering it's age not sure if that counts as mutalated or is just "honest wear" at this point :D

    Looks more like nailed with a square nail. Some people used to do that for luck.
    Here's mine that's shot, probably a 22, probably by my wife's aunt or uncle while target shooting back when the coin was nearly new. Would this be "AU details"? IMG_8638.JPG IMG_8637.JPG

    I have not seen a coin much more intentionally mutilated than this one. I received it in a large lot of foreign coins that somebody gave me years ago and have only hung on to it because it's silver. IMG_20250106_223013259.jpg

    Makes you wonder how it happened. People are weird sometimes, I guess. :rolleyes:

    There is a tool made for cutting sheet metal that could do that to a silver coin. They are made as a hand tool, power tool or air tool.

    Looks like it was made into some sort of clip, like a paper clip. Odd that the top and bottom were squared off. There's a line scribed into it as a guide for how far to make the cuts. Clearly intentional for some purpose, but who knows what.

    I inherited this mutilated cent. I think it was a machinery experiment.

    Personally I like square nail holes in coins. Trying to think if I have one that new or if every square nail hole that I have are either large cents and maybe a couple half cents?
