Found this in my penny jar. Any thoughts? I'm just learning about coin collection and have not seen one like this in my limited research. Has anyone else?
I'm thinking that it's the very early start of a Dryer Coin, which is a form of Post Strike Damage (happened after it left the U.S. Mint). See how the date is flat and mushy? I think that it's a Dryer Coin.
