Dough101 Valued Member United States 315 Posts	Posted 09/25/2025 6:32 pm The obverse got hit, but the back looks normal. What did you do to it? Double die dates, mint mark, and it appears to have another element on the coin? I got this gem from the bank Edited by Dough101 09/25/2025 6:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Dough101 Valued Member United States 315 Posts	Posted 09/25/2025 6:39 pm Does it look like there are leaves and flowers on the obverse? Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 63514 Posts	Posted 09/25/2025 6:56 pm It's a horribly damaged cent. If it was me, I'd just toss it back into the pile. It's a spender. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 18070 Posts	Posted 09/25/2025 9:43 pm Yes, rather extensive, vicious post-strike damage. The coin didn't leave the striking chamber looking like that. Report this Post to the Staff

Earle42 Pillar of the Community United States 9897 Posts	Posted 09/26/2025 11:14 am I am guessing you are using social media and ebay to try to identify error coins. On ebay there are 22,000 listings today for "error coin." Yet the hobby trusted, legitimate auction site fro coins, HA.com has archived just over 9,000 in their records (https://www.ha.com/c/search/results...de=archive). Yours is simple damage. It can easily be replicated in a garage with a metal file. Nothing in the minting process can make something that looks like this. The way the mint makes coining dies it is physically impossible for extra design elements to be made, at the mint, on a coin. So any you think you see are post mint damage or Pareidolia. Until you understand minting and die making, like the majority of people DO NOT who post on ebay and social media, you will not understnad that almost all odd looking coins you will ever find are post mint damage. It is essential for newbies wanting to discern real errors from the untold millions of damaged coins they will encounter to know the minting and die making process. Here is how to see this for yourself. Damaged coins often have people wondering if they are valuable error coins. To escape being fooled by simple damage, a person need, at a minimum, to know the minting and die making processes. :D The coin minting process: mqPvKxJXC_Y t=PLoycqRjxZI6bXgwQ_KXbokrSInWDK4LP6&index=7 How coin dies are made/used: https://www.coinnews.net/2014/01/06...oduce-coins/ How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
