Hinkle Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I have no clue what happened to this coin, but Lincoln is smiling for whatever. Hahahaha. Wondering if the mint tried to destroy this coin. I wouldn't know how or what a coin looks like going through the machine when they decide to destroy coins. Just a suggestion lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenstang Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 The Lincoln is just heavily damaged. Before the Mint sends rejects to be melted, they put it through a machine that defaces it making it look like a waffle hence the term "Waffle Coin".
