WhitLew New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 12/04/2013 12:54 pm Found another possible Wheat penny with an error in my collection. This one is a 1951 and very obviously bent in a weird way, not from use. Looking for a yes or no and maybe the worth of this penny. Thank you in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

This looks like it was bent after it left the mint so this would be considered post mint damage ( PMD) and detract from any numismatic value (if there is any). I think is most likely worth 1 cent unless it is an attributable variety. Report this Post to the Staff

Some one may have tried using it as a screwdriver or other tool, and it cave under pressure. Damage to a coin is simply that. Like anything else of value, if it is damaged, it probably will not bring a premium. More than likely it will reduce the value. Report this Post to the Staff
