Definitely a strange one. The obverse looks like some kind mint error almost looks like the planchet was fractured and the reverse looks like PSD. Personally I don't have a clue on this one. Any ideas?   Edited by jasper62

If it were a die capped cent, the coin would be unifaced and the edge would be cupped. I dont really see any way for this to happen in the mint. It's possible it could be a strike through, but ive never seen anything like it before if it is. I'm leaning towards PSD, but I could be wrong |

I've never seen anything like it. It's definitely suffered a powerful force. If I had to guess I'd say Abe was shot in the back of his head. Maybe a pellet gun.

Really hard to say. Could be a major strike through... but also could've been shot with a pellet gun... Id like to see what some others have to say about this....  |

While relaxing with my cold beverage and viewing this topic, I had an epiphany. I started noticing the shape on the reverse and then it was just a matter of size comparison. See if you all think this has something to do with it:  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Hmmmmm quite an epiphany spruette. I guess my question to you is how old were you when you did this to this penny and how many years have you waited for this to turn up?  |

Guess that's what's called "disposable income" (of which I have none) that flows out of many additional holes in one's head...  |

The seller says it's an "error in the stamping process". |
