Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 78480 Posts	Posted 06/03/2018 12:37 pm No GrapeCollects. It's 100 percent Post Strike Damage (happened after it left the U.S. Mint). You can see the pushed and flattened metal. Your cent is now only worth Copper melt value. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34538 Posts	Posted 06/03/2018 12:56 pm @Younosabe, first welcome to CCF. Second, I agree with @E&V and @chafemasterj that this coin does not look like a mint error. Rather, someone flattened part of the flan and then wrapped it underneath.
