dquiroz68 Valued Member United States 56 Posts	Posted 01/22/2022 9:25 pm This penny caught my eye because it was bent on one side and when I flipped it over there was a hump, bump, or something. I tried several shots and tried every angle. But I think you can see what I see. And I wanted to know how did this happen? Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Pillar of the Community United States 8017 Posts	Posted 01/22/2022 10:13 pm Certainly post-strike damage. In my decades of rummaging through hundreds of thousands of coins--if not a couple million--I've come across bent coins many times. It's a tough world out there, and some coins pay the price.

dquiroz68 Valued Member United States 56 Posts	Posted 01/23/2022 12:10 am There's a hump on the right I obverse side above the date. It's like it's filled with something. I can feel it and I was comparing it to the regular penny. It doesn't lay flat when turned head down. But I guess it has too much glue I've been told on another coin that didn't have the" states" in the reverse penny was because of the glue?!. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Bedrock of the Community United States 44602 Posts	Posted 01/23/2022 04:01 am I do not know how it happened, but it is PMD not a mint error. John1 ( I'm no pro, it's just my humble opinion ) Searched 6.5 +/- Million Cents Since 1971 Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 57332 Posts	Posted 01/23/2022 3:47 pm Looks like it was smashed in a vise. Rim bent, it is damage. Not a mint error. Richard S.

Dearborn Pillar of the Community United States 7350 Posts	Posted 01/23/2022 4:01 pm yep, I was going to mention a vise and possibly a hammer was involved in this violent coin crime.
