No "FG"...is a good thing....damage makes it worth about 1 cent...too bad.
Now that I had a second look..the initials are faint...but there.

It's just a damaged coin.

I could make out the G. It is a copper coin and I would keep it (I hoard copper). Otherwise it's just a penny.

Golly, any time you see a coin that looks like the front of the coin it is trashed no matter what else is with the coin. I understand the confusion, I was there too. There are a lot of people on here that will help you, they helped me TONS! When I first started looking at coins I thought every one was an error for some reason or another. It takes some time, hang in there! Coppercoins,Coop, John1, DrDon, Mainman750, CaptainFwiffo,BadThad, TheNickeGuy and many more know there coins. Some even have their own site and wrote books. Check out some sites if you can, much help availabe here and online !! Keep looking !! http://www.coppercoins.com/http://varietyvista.com/http://doubleddie.com/http://www.lincolncentresource.com/index.htmlThats just a few of the links I have open when searching and find something I want to check out. There are many more and books too. Keep learning and searching !! Like my signature says "we do it cause we like it" !! lol Edited by papatony

OKay - I'm also learning and have a question for the forum and let's us the opening poster's coin. On the date and mintmark are there two sizes of "d" for this particular year. If I can figure out how to take and post a picture of the coin that I'm looking at my mintmark almosts looks smaller in comparision to the mintmark of the coin in question.

This coin is severely damaged...probably from dropping onto a parking lot face down, having been run over a few times, then picked up by someone else who probably spent it. The damage is on one side because that's the only side that was subject to the gravel, sand, concrete - the other side was run over by a rubber tire. I would really think something like this would be quite obvious, but oh well. You've got my very plausible answer. Nobody can know for absolute certain how this coin was damaged, just that it definitely is.
ghostrider - 1969D cents were struck with dies all punched by the same size mintmark punch.
