*** Edited by Staff to remove YELLING. All capital letters is the internet version of yelling. Please do not do it in titles or posts. ***Hubby found this while going through a roll of pennies. What would this error be called? Any way of identifying year ( newer penny). Newbie so please be kind.

Looks like it was fed partially into a roller of some sort.

Attempted to be flattened by some form of press, but only partially. As to date, 2010 on and either a Philly or Denver mint. Coin is in nice shape in general so would suspect it is a 2015 or newer. The majority of shield stinkin zinkins have begun turning and rotting after two years in circulation. Then again, could be a nice coin from Billy's piggy bank?

to the forum! Possibly a failed elongated cent attempt. How did that fit into a cent roll?  |

I'm leaning towards a mis strike as the rim appears to be intact along the bottom obverse.

Not an error.
nfine has said it right.
A deliberate attempt to deceive.

@JJ, first welcome to the CCF. Second, I agree with others that this is not a mint error. I have noticed a similar pattern of partial flattening on coins that are placed on train tracks and then picked up after being flattened. Regardless of whether this was done with train wheels or rollers or something else altogether, you have a hunk of metal which is worth only a cent.

@Spence-
@jabbajane-
my first thought was the coin looks like it was run over by a train. we used to do that when I was early teens, putting several coins on a track before an approaching train. some of the coins flattened entirely, some looked similar to the one pictured here.
