Has to be post mint damage. Don't you think?

Hi Pat. That appears to be post-mint damage. A neat conversation piece but not worth too much.

Brad, you beat me to it. I guess we agree.

That was literally 2 seconds between posts...

Right now the coin is at $62. Makes me want to get out a few of my proof cents and take a screwdriver to them.

It looks like the reeding from the old cents.. I don't think a screwdriver could bubble up the metal. It reminds me of the top of the memorial on the reverse..

I'm sure it wasn't a screwdriver...but it was intended by the mint. It was either damaged at the mint or after. It think someone put the coin under something, then hit that something with a hammer.
