I was thinking of posting it in the &#039;Coin Roll Hunting&#039; forum as I did find it in a roll, but due to the damage opted to post it in the error forum.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding this coin though, I don&#039;t think environmental damage is the cause as there is no obvious oxidation of the coin&#039;s metal. I do have coins that have environmental damage, and under magnified observation doesn&#039;t look at all the same. I&#039;d also think environmental damage would not cause the pillars to be slanted as such. Grease flow seems to fit as the deformation of the words seem to get worse toward the bottom of the reverse side as the grease flowed in that direction. The wavy rivulets on the obverse side on Lincoln&#039;s image could have been caused by a rapid vibration which shifted the coin&#039;s orientation, and also affected the monument too because the die metal didn&#039;t shift to cause that slant. The damage to the rim may possibly have been caused when the rapid flowing grease caused the rim to be forced out and up, causing it to become thinner the higher it flowed. It is hard to say whether the rim&#039;s folding over was at the mint or post release.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for your post though, I like this sharing of ideas a lot. Have a great coin hunting day![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
