We found this 2001 and the guy at the coin shop thought it might be a mint error . But he had not seen one like it. He said he would take it to the Long Beach Ca. show in June to ask if I could not find a answer by then.

Nah...that's just one of my discards. I bite 'em now to make sure they're zinc :lol:

Neat find. Really have no idea. Someone here will know.

The odd part it is raised on both sides .

Looks like intense heat may have caused it.

Nice find,I'm curious myself as to what could have made those waffles.

Does any one have a torch to see if the can make one?

No, I think it's an error, look at the bottom on the obverse, there is a section where the rim is stamped twice. looks like it was hung up in the die.

BTW, I would put it on eBay with a Buy it Now price of 1.5 million.....

It does have a lighter color to it.

My first impression is damage but I can't say for sure. I would let the dealer take it to the show and see what other dealers think.

Somebody just put it in a vice and squeezed the dog out of it?

It does not match the sides. Also looking at the rim the size stays the same.

Sure looks like it was run between a couple bevel gears or a chain and sprocket.

Not to derail Henry's thread, but here are pics of a REAL waffled coin. If anyone has an explanation for this weirdness, I hope Henry doesn't mind if you post it. And yup, the bumps appear around the edge, too.

Looks to me like it has been etched in acid. I mean the most recent image... not the one that started the thread.

If this website is right we both do not have a waffled coin--http://www.mintproducts.com/waffle-quarters-cancelled-at-the-mint-order-two-and-save.html
The dates are wrong.
"In 2003 the U.S. Mint began using machines to cancel coins with possible defects. The coins are put through high pressure rollers that obliterate much the coin's design. The cancelled coins are left with a corrugated or "Waffle"pattern. thus, the term Waffle Coin."

A six pack of that Miller Light in your Avatar will do the same thing.

In Oregon we drink microbrews. I was thinking the Millers would make one just plain sick.

I got an answer from CONECA http://conecaonline.org/

Hi Joe.

This cent appears to have been heated and then crushed. It's definitely not a minting error.

Cheers,

Mike Diamond

CONECA is a great organization and Mike Diamond is extremely knowledgeable. Maybe Franklin should join with all of the cool things he finds. There is a great magazine that you get every couple of months. Dues are reasonable too. I have been a member for about two years now.

Enjoy your coin searches, everyone. :geek:
