You've got to be joking!

Hey! It's a DD obv WAM CAM thank you MAM.

R9, $1054/each

 

some one checking the spread on their turkey loads...

 

What do you mean by that

 

IMO PMD it looks like someone used a BB gun on it.

Its how I found i think if someone a BB gun the hose would be bigger I got at a bank

 

Well the BB gun is just a guess the truth is no one is going to know how it happened but the fact is it still PMD.
Theres no way that coin left the mint looking like that IMO

Amigo.. Lo que ves.. Es todo Dañado
No es un Error

 

Just what I said. It gets a little ridiculous when someone wants to know value when the condition of the coin sucks. Why don't you learn a little more about numismatics before you try to cash in on junk coins.

Whatever get a good look at your hatred and fix it

 

Ricardo, I don't believe it is hatred... It is just that sometimes people get a little miffed at posts of coins that are obviously worth nothing more than face value. It pays to do a little research before you post something... that is all. From what I've seen, 95%+ of people who list coins that they think are valuable errors are, in fact, in error themselves. No offense... just the truth.

 

I'd like to see what my 12 gauge would do to a Lincoln but I'd probably never find it.

 

Maybe it's from a shotgun roll?

 

From the apparent size and depth of the pock marks in that coin, I'd say someone was using it as the centre bull of a dart board, perhaps in an alcohol-fuelled macho attempt to see if they could put a dart through it. No idea what the streaky colour would be from, though. Long and short of it is that this is a coin that barely even has face value left to it and would not be missed if it spent the rest of its life at the bottom of a wishing well in the middle of nowhere.

 

It means "You've got to be joking!"

And what do you mean by "Any help"? What question did you want answered?

 

Ricardo, it's like this. If I knew absolutely nothing about coins I would know that one is trash. No hate, just common sense.

 

Yeah, Ricardo... that's it. Another person conveniently deemed a "hater" for nothing more than being accepting of reality or stating fact. This type of nonsense has gotten very, very old...

You're new and I understand why you may have misinterpreted earlier posts as being negative, but not everything in life is teddy bear, kittens, and puppies, and is particularly true in this hobby. We all have to start somewhere, and the sooner you accept the fact that you've learned something from this thread, the better off you'll be.

 

Sorry - that coin is beyond help

 

If you are asking "What caused this post-mint damage?", I'll be kind and take a honest stab at it, no pun intended.

The pocking on both sides appears to be from a very hard granular substance, maybe a variety of sand or tiny gravel. Then, either singly each side, or put under maybe under 1/4 inch of the substance and with one strike, pounded with a hammer.

They do make snake-shot for reloading bullets, and if you put less than 15 grains of gunpowder and don't stand too close with a .357 Smith and Wesson revolver, you might shoot a penny and wind up with a result like on your coin. Shotgun shot is too big, .410 gauge varmint shells too, they would vaporize the coin. More than 15 grains and the gunpowder turns the shot molten ( a plus if you are avoiding ballistic evidence).

But less than 15 grains, around half, 7 or 8 grains, pushes the shot out the end of the barrel at half-speed, more or less. The more I run this scenario around my head, the more this looks to be the case. The size of the pocks are about the same as snake-shot.

I've tried to be serious and kind to offer help. But as mentioned earlier, no way that coin was inside any mint facility in that condition.

I hope you accept my analysis.
