Becky Pillar of the Community United States 954 Posts	Posted 06/18/2008 9:23 pm Weigh it, then we will know more. If you don't have a scale, balance it on something like a popsicle stick with another wheatie on the other end. I'm guessing it may be light. My first guess is PMD.

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 06/18/2008 10:18 pm If there's no rim on the back, the reverse has been ground off--easy call. Report this Post to the Staff
NGiles Pillar of the Community United States 527 Posts	Posted 06/18/2008 11:07 pm I agree with KurtS, it has been ground off. Report this Post to the Staff
foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 06/19/2008 12:56 am Hi, This is not an error of any kind. It has simply been machined to remove the reverse. People with too much time on their hands figure out all kinds of ways to damage coins. This one was damaged a long time ago as it has had enough time to tarnish pretty evenly. No extra value on a damaged piece. Actually, no real value at all since it is damaged. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff

BobK Valued Member United States 177 Posts	Posted 06/19/2008 12:24 pm I've found a few cents like this over the years. Invariably they're noticeably thinner than a normal cent. Report this Post to the Staff
foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 06/21/2008 4:00 pm Hi, Stated above, "It has value, its still worth a penny...." Technically, damaged, underweight and without a denomination present, as it has been removed. This Cent, (as someone stated in another post, technically not a penny) has been reduced to it's melt value. That may still be one cent but it is no longer redeemable as as a form of currency. It still may pass as a cent but again, the above just mentions the technicalities involved:-) Have Fun, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
