Everyone has heard of EOR (end of roll) coins often displaying different levels of toning, etc, etc.. But how about damage? I can't rule out that a rolling machine could have caused this damage but I have looked at a lot (stress the lot) of Washingtons and this is somewhat of a curve ball for me. Notice the perfect circle outside the wings all the way around the reverse. Any thoughts?
I wondered about the diameter of the circle. Looks about the size of the old twist off pop lids with the little metal segments that were crimped at the factory and then separated and expanded out when you opened the pop... But i dont have any of those old lids for reference
Damage.. what an ugly word. Think about this. People damage things. Why? Because they can. We have been asked numerous times for the reason why and how they damaged coins... My answer, Because they are bored and only they would know why and how they created the damage. It's a sad world we live in.
Same reason I once tore the 283 engine, manual trani, and interior out of a completely stock 1958 Corvette and replaced it with a 350 motor, auto trani, and plastic kitchen chairs so I could go racing. The vehicle (coin) didn't mean much at the time.
Ouch!!!...yeah, I'd say "coin roll machine damage", which you could say is unintentional, but..... The obverse sure is pretty though .
