Found another possible Wheat penny with an error in my collection. This one is a 1951 and very obviously bent in a weird way, not from use. Looking for a yes or no and maybe the worth of this penny. Thank you in advance.
! This looks like it was bent after it left the mint so this would be considered post mint damage ( PMD) and detract from any numismatic value (if there is any). I think is most likely worth 1 cent unless it is an attributable variety.
yep, more than likely post mint damage ( PMD). Some one may have tried using it as a screwdriver or other tool, and it cave under pressure. Damage to a coin is simply that. Like anything else of value, if it is damaged, it probably will not bring a premium. More than likely it will reduce the value.
