    Definitely post, it looks like someone dropped it on pavement and the guy behind him dragged it across the ground with his shoe.

    On the bright side, those are some nice pics you took.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    That's what I though.

    The coin pic was done on a scanner wish the rest of the coins I scanned would come that nice.

    Thank You

    Generally, mistakes like that (if PRE) would hold onto the original color of the coin in the areas where it has the damage/error... not always, but most of the time.

    Looks like something from the old western movies where they used to bite the coins to see if real.
