Okay so these 2 pennies just really stood out to me and looked different than the usuals. The 1959? (I can't really tell what the last number is) has no edge like at all and is crazy looking, and then the 1981 just looks really weird. Probably just worn due to time and circulation, but figured I'd still ask. What causes pennies to end up looking like these?

The first probable vise squeezed, the second just plain circulated.

Both PMD. By the way, the one on the left is 1959 because of LMC reverse. The wheat reverse wasn't used after 1958

Thanks for letting me know guys! I thought the 1959 was cool because of how thin it is and the other one just looked a little different than normal. I figured it was PMD, just hoping I missed something :)

The 195p looks like it spent sometime in a parking lot and got ran over several times. Probably still the correct weight.
