Patman54 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I found this penny yesterday that is a 1955-D when I 1st looked at it I thought it had a double rim, but when under the microscope it revealed that the rim is flat like it skipped the rimming process. What do you think? I'v looked through thousands of pennies but have never seen this before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patman54 Posted July 31 Author Share Posted July 31 Wouldn't that require a lot of pressure to smash that rim down like that? And wouldn't the coin be larger if it was smashed? Or pressed. I would also think that the aluminum would be damaged. Long before it smashed down the copper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post J P M Posted July 31 Popular Post Share Posted July 31 Thats how it works Patman, the press holds it so tight they don't need glue and it squishes both pieces together. ldhair, powermad5000 and The Neophyte Numismatist 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patman54 Posted July 31 Author Share Posted July 31 But if the rim was pressed, would it not make the penny larger? It's exactly the same size, if not a little smaller. When matched up to another penny. Not to mention if it is pressed without much pressure. I would imagine it would be really difficult to remove it without damaging it.

ldhair Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 These show up all the time on the coin forums. The strike/press forces the metal from the holder, around the rim of the coin. Sometimes the design on the die will actually show on the rim of the coin. There have been hundreds and hundreds of different Lucky holders.

Sandon Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I've seen several cents that look exactly like your 1955-D in mixed groups of circulated wheat reverse cents. They are coins that were removed from these once common encasements and spent. powermad5000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henri Charriere Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Just a moment, Patman! In all these "feel-good" posts, bear in mind the phenomenon you've observed, whether caused by a formally-attired fedora-wearing Mighty Mouse or Creature from the Black Lagoon, constitutes post-mint damage, or PMD, as mentioned, almost as an after-thought by @Fenntucky Mike. While in and of itself, the oddity does not command a premium, I do not believe it is as common as it once was and you may consider holding on to it as a numismatic-related oddity.

powermad5000 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 It is not advisable @bouchta tajjiou to tag onto a thread with a completely different coin with a completely different characteristic. For the benefit of the members here and for you to get the responses you are looking for, please start your own thread for your coin. ldhair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
