This is by far the most jacked up penny I've found
PAC man in bays 9-11 top right
Big bump col 12 top R
Extra col in 5&7-outside
E eating Abe & another E in bay 4
Col 8 stair running down-grade 15%
Box doubled below abes feet to stairs
Die bump under/inside col 8
Last stair step Top L- doubled or extra thickness
Far right steps- they r 1/2 bubble off plumb/ offset
R. Stair post- col 8 runs into it
Extra cols- in everyday but 1 or so


Have any of you guys ever saw or know something about this? My luck this is just a common one and on worth a quarter #pacman lol

I'm seeing a fairly typical zinc cent as well (with perhaps unusually many die polish lines - at least that's how I interpret the diagonal lines all over the reverse fields - which might correspond to some of the described imagery).

Most of the "extra columns" look like they're supposed to be there by design, and in any case don't look like any mint error I can think of. Most of the rest is just contact marks and/or zinc rot, and in places perhaps also wear.

And haha, I almost missed that pacman, it's so tiny.

Are you sure you've posted the right coin? It does have a nice big fingerprint growing on it.
