Any that I have found are only bent, not cut.

Got a chewed up Kennedy half somewhere around here I found. Definately lawnmower food. I saw a guy dig a large cent on an organized hunt, which wasn't planted by the organizers, well chewed up. That was a shame.

Not all "lawnmower cut" coins were cut with a lawnmower. Some could be produced from the mint.

Clipped coins occur all the time, and if just a small piece is sliced off (the edge should be straight), it may have gotten missed by the mint.

I've found several cut coins: probably cut with wire cutters. Don't have any pictures of them, as they are not worth anything, so just tossed 'em. But a clipped coin, OTOH, can be worth some bucks. Got to check the rims. If the rim extends into the sliced area slightly, it may be a straight clip error, and can be worth some bucks.

No cut coins, but I do have one that was run over by a tank.

Found a clad quarter that was stamped 'Worth $25 In Store' but no clue as to what store it came from.

Not by a lawnmower but I found some cut silver coins once in an old house up in Michigan that were going to be used in a bracelet or something, funny thing is they were Australian coins.




Also, I found a quarter once that was used for target practice.
