    PMD. Somebody used scissors/snips or something to damage that cent.

    Edit to answer the question.

    No.

    Yep mint error. Congratulations, you're a millionaire. Be sure to call your boss and tell him off, you're retiring early.

    Just post-mint damage. No numismatic value.

    Scissors ?

    Or tin snips. Get a cent and try it yourself

    What sort of error do you think it is? If is important to know how coins are made so you understand what might be or might not be an error.

    Just take a pair of tin snips or metal cutting scissors and you can make as many as you want.

    This doesn't appear to be the kind of question that a neophyte would ask about a coin such as this.

    Identical post and coin on coin talk.

    Same deal on CT

    Nothing wrong with having accounts on both boards but there's no need to post identical things on both. These boards exist for more than just identifying PMD or error coins.

    This is one that should be sent to PCGS to get their expert opinion. Don't listen to these guys they just want it for next to nothing. Don't forget to pay the fee for "error".

    Nice investigative work and thanks for the heads-up.

    Nothing wrong with being a troll if I think i got something I'm going to post it just like everyone else does

    @Blogger

    Recommend a couple good books: Red Book US Coins and Cherrypickers’ Guide.

    A website:
    http://www.error-ref.com

    Also a few vids on how the US Mint makes coins. Errors occur during the minting process and understanding how coins are minted is the key in figuring out if something is an error or PMD.

    No doubt that this is pmd, but I doubt scissors of any kind made it. They would have compressed the coin edge and would not have made the flat cut on the rim along with the fields. Just to keep this post coin informational, what other device could have made this cut? Just curious.

    Scissors or tin snips. If I had a cent here, I'd do it with the scissors to show you

    If u used tin snips they would of probably cut right through the penny the lines on the penny wouldn't be that perfect I dont think sciccors are strong enough to make perfect lines like that

    Disagree and disagree. You can cut a cent with snips, you don't HAVE to. You can also cut down on a cent with scissors if you want.

    Why make this more complicated than it is. It is a cutting tool of some kind. Scissors will work if you are strong enough or they are sturdy enough. Tin snips definitely work. Either way, it is a simply hand-held home appliance.

    Here's a little experiment. I didn't have a cent so I used a harder bronze desk key and regular $4 scissors. It will cut into a cent much more easily. If you have scissors and a cent TRY IT instead of looking for a more complicated method:
