deboriole New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 09/13/2013 12:17 am I have a bunch of pennies that look like they have been assaulted. I have been reading about all types of errors but I haven't seen any that look like either of these. Are these mint errors or was someone taking their frustration out on these pennies? Thanks in advance for your help, I am really enjoying getting into this hobby! Report this Post to the Staff

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 09/13/2013 12:33 am just look like abuse ( PMD) to me. Left one was in a box of nails/bolts?, and the right one was squeezed by wire cutters/tin snips?. Report this Post to the Staff

Been run over several times and mashed between car tires and the asphalt. Lots of the coins I pick up in parking lots look like this to some degree. Dave Report this Post to the Staff
