In my neck of the woods, those are target practice, even CoinStar don't take 'em. On a sunny day they go a twinkling ricochet after a side hit from #8 shot!

The pics are too blurry to tell anything beyond PMD. There are mint error types that involve bent coins, but closer examination is needed than what is provided. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Merclover, you misunderstood, your coins have been damaged by multiple means. My method removes them from circulation forever, in the cornfield, turned under, what doesn't make it is burned in the brush pile...all while having fun. PLEASE don't get rid of the penny! What will I have to shoot at?

@merclover, perhaps take a close up pic of one of the bent coins? @spruett is right that a bent coin can be one form of post mint damage, but we will need a better pic to confirm that what you have isn't anything but PMD. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

The bent ones have probably been hit by either a Hammer or Lawn Mower.

They're all destroyed. But, pennies aren't in circulation, so that's something. Also, you have two young head portraits there. I personally like to keep those.
