No argument on the zinc rot. In the last picture take a look at the nose and forehead and the striking directly in front of it. No rot or scratches there. Looks like a strike to me but of course I can't be 100% on that. That's why I'm looking for your opinions. On the reverse above the O in one cent, there is a raised area next to the shield. I'll post better pics later

When I spot coins like this, I toss them back into circulation ASAP. Not even worth the time to look at them. They are just spendable coins.

I always check the best up coins because they usually have legit errors somewhere. They look worn out coming from the mint sometimes. I think this is a good example of that. This is a 2014. Normally when I flip a shield cent there's nothing there. This doesn't have much but if you look hard there are recessed areas and raised areas. Mint errors.

To each his own. People like coins like damaged coins also. Like that 1955 poor mans doubled die. Total Die Deterioration but it will sell like a hot cake. Or you can get the real deal in worse condition for around a thousand dollars. |

I like to check out the beat up coins because you never know what you'll find. Its 50/50 and only a penny. It has value to me. When will you ever see a coin like this. Never. One of a kind

Ok, I can run over a penny with my car a few times and spill some coffee on it and call it one of a kind. But there are no errors on this coin and it holds no premium.

RW1010, I probably know that it wasn't the answer you were looking for, but that's unfortunately your answer, sorry. As stated before, just a damaged coin. A spendable coin, as this happened after it left the U.S. Mint.
Errers and Varietys.

Not a problem. I picked it up off the ground. That's what we do, look at coins. I cleaned it up to see what was underneath and found what looks like doubling. You know how it goes, we want it to be what it's not. Thanks for looking
