jrlcoin New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 07/22/2018 2:46 pm I found this penny that shows sharp edges on various areas of the coin obverse and reverse. Was wondering about the striking. First time posting...thank you. * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/22/2018 4:27 pm Either cent or penny is considered correct. This does appear to be post-mint damage of some sort. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff

The people that make them call them pennies thousands of times on their own website. They even teach the kids that. So please give it a rest. Either one is acceptable. Every new member doesn't need to be slapped for using a perfectly acceptable term. Shop CCF Members on eBay. Report this Post to the Staff

Anyway, I think your coin was heated with a torch or something, because the coin has a melted appearance to it, like if someone burned it. It's Post Strike Damage, and not an error. It's worth face value, since it's a damaged coin. I would like to also say To CCF! Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
