jones1973 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 05/28/2021 7:19 pm Found this penny in a jar while going through them, probably nothing but I've seen similar looking ones selling for a lot on ebay. It's a 1960 and looks as if it has been melted or something and beat up. I'm new to this page and am not a collector so any input would be great. Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 05/28/2021 10:42 pm I agree with all of the above. Your cent spent a good deal of up close and quality time with parking lot gravel. Post mint damage ( PMD), not a mint error, no way no how. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
