Ronracer Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 It is believed Paul Revere hammered the rim onto this 1944 Washington to make it fit better into pocket. How does that affect the value? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coin edges get mutilated in lots of ways, especially in rotary machinery, so there's no value except if conclusively related to the band member -- a very unlikely scenario.

Ronracer Posted May 6 Author Share Posted May 6 (edited) Sorry that's a joke. Completely unknown as to who or why. But they did a pretty good job. Edited May 6 by Ronracer added text Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Bill347 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 The practice of spooning a coin can produce this look. A bored person continues tapping a spoon on the coins edge. Machines or dryer coins also end up in this manner. Is that Paul Revere still alive. I saw them in person in 1967. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronracer Posted May 6 Author Share Posted May 6 Sadly Paul is gone. The quarter was intentionally rimmed and pretty skillfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powermad5000 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 One would have to have some type of evidence to support such a claim, as a photo of him with the coin in his hand and clearly that particular piece. Otherwise it is just merely rumor and speculation. Looks spooned to me and anybody could have spooned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
