well-placed hit that severed and pushed a T Fun stuff

 

Copper is a very soft metal and the raised devices can be relatively easily moved due to a hard, direct hit/impact. It actually happens quite often to cents.

Usually referred to here as PMD or Post Minting Damage. A nice hit in the right place can do that.

 

Thanks

Well that’s not two Y’s. It took a nice hit to do that. The copper is soft and it moves easily on cents.
