Flaw or foul play?

[Sandta]

Got this $1 coin in my change today,
My first thought, it has been struck with a number/letter stamp

But the sides are not raised or tapered , very neat ,clean and deep
What do you think?
Ever seen it before?

I think 1984 was the year the $1 and $2 coins were introduced.
Doesn't look like a punch from the pic.
Could be something exciting?

 

[Ramjet]

Interesting.

Maybe someone got a Dremel for their birthday.

Is there any sign of impact in the area of the 0 on the obverse side?

Highly unlikely to have been on the issued coin, but not impossible.

I see the problem Sandta.there is a circle on your dollar coin.so here's what you do, you post me your faulty dollar coin and I will post you a new unmarked dollar coin.happy I could help. :lol:

 

[Sandta]

Guess i could always palm it off to K man .. Let him figure it out
:lol:

Small coin related letters..

i have seen a few of these coins, i collect error coins and the likes, a few sites i lurk on regarding coin collecting etc, most people are of the opinion that the mysterious 'extra' numbers are PMD (post mint damage), someone is stamping them, either it be some sort of counting system or something, no one i have spoke to or that i have read can put a answer to it, but i have read that it is not from the mint

We have a friend that machined half the eight off $1000 worth of assorted coins in the late 80's with the intent of seeing if he ever got any back in his change in the future ... haven't seen him in a couple of years but at 25 yrs on i don't think anyone has ever seen one of his .. might be something similar

I am a printer by trade,,,, its the perfect shape and size from a numbering machine.
These are used on paper eg raffle tickets.
How it was done? not sure.

Most likely a vending machine coin, stamped for identification

Value = $1

Two of them 1984 as well, so part of the same batch perhaps.

I thought that it was against the law to deliberately deface the Queens coin? Is this not the case?
