Left Penny is what I am curious about, included the penny on right as comparison since same 2016/D. On the front it appears that the shape if off and was not colored properly On the back, the normal raised parts are all smooth, except the center part of the shield, and is missing parts of the shield and One Cent wording that should be there...

It has no value beyond the one cent. I'm not entirely sure what has rubbed against the edge and rev face to cause this pattern. One possibility is that it was caught in a clothes washer for some time. If you search CCF in the left hand corner with the key words "washer coin" you will see a somewhat similar wear pattern to these other coins.

matrix2280 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 05/30/2017 1:05 pm Any ideas on the back though? Not sure how a washer/dryer could remove those portions of the shield and "one cent" wording perfectly and also remove the raised lettering that should be there? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
