Need help!! Can someone tell me if my coin is worth more than face value? It's got a couple different errors I find interesting. See the 4 marks on the face side of the coin..
Thank you

@jd, first welcome to CCF. Second, it looks to me like this cent is damaged rather than having a mint error.

This was a victim coin with two other coins used to squeeze the rims to make it look like a mint error? (when it is not) What were they trying to make it look like? A partial clip coin:

But note on these there is not rim distortion, that the fade shows.

Note that the rim edge of the strike it not seen on a real off center. Sometimes you can see the hint of the gutter edge on an off center:

But seeing the rim on the victim coin, yells: "This is a Fake." along with mirrored devices on the victim coin.
The rims are squeezed lightly to make it look like an error. If squeezed harder in a vise, it transfers the design on to the victim coin mirrored. With the incuse line of the rim transferred to the victim coin:

to the CCF and One thing to remember, if you have an indent on one side, and a hump on the other side that lines up, it's damage.
