<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 2285301, member: 15929&quot;]Look. With regard to the original coin posted in this thread, it is obviously something done post minting. It&#039;s obvious to see not to mention the fact that there is &quot;nothing&quot; in the minting process which would create such an effect on the Obverse of a coin.</p><p>Nothing.</p><p><br /></p><p>And then there&#039;s the reverse of the coin in question.</p><p><br /></p><p>It appears that the coin was placed on a hard yet porous surface and then repeated smacked with some type of tool with enough force to actually cut into the obverse yet squash the details flat on the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>Take a cent out to the sidewalk and smack it really hard with a hammer. You&#039;ll see similar looking damage in the surface which came in contact with the sidewalk.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s not really rocket science and the collection of authentic error coins requires that the collector have some familiarity with the minting process OTHER THAN &quot;well it looks like an error to me.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
