This coin appears egg shaped or "out of round" and so PMD. "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."

Anyone's guess what caused the PMD, but it is not an error. John1  |

but not sure of what value it may have. As a badly damaged coin it has no numismatist value. Just for being a wheat back. 5 cents |

to the CCF This is indeed a curiosity - no clue how it was produced but it did not leave the mint that way. |

Looks like the coin was circulation damaged. (should be underweight a small amount) But something was added to the coin afterwards, like a spark from a welder or something like brazing? The coin was normal when struck, circulated for many years and altered later on. Not a mint error.

1920? Hmmmm That little guy looks like he's been through the war - quite literally or perhaps damaged in the aftermath or post-war clean-up. It would make for a good story though. I suppose it could have been around during WWII as well.

Thank you everyone for your thoughts and opinions. My dreams of scoring a big one with this coin have exploded and shattered, just like Lincoln's head!
First time visiting here and enjoyed it, so will follow up with other coins shortly.

Interesting PMD, I would have looked at it twice. |

to the CCF Looks like it was hit with a hammer on the reverse, the obverse took the indents of the surface it was placed on. |
