JKK Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Can't tell if it's wear or damage (the loss of denomination is uneven and makes me think of a slightly deformed coin that has that area raised higher and thus wearing more), but the odds of a mint error being the cause are very long, if not infinitesimal.

Mohawk Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I'm thinking damage too. It looks like someone purposely did something to the CE in Cent and the the coin got back out into circulation for a considerable time afterward, causing the damage to become worn.

Greenstang Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 It has to be damage.There is no possible way for that to happen during the striking of the coin which is the only way an error can occur. At first I was looking at the possibility of a "struck through grease error" but looking at the photo of the full reverse, you can see where there is misplaced metal which cannot happen with a struck through.
