Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74481 Posts	Posted 08/28/2018 8:16 pm I can see Coin Wrapping Machine Damage and your coin has been plated as well. It's Post Strike Damage (it happened after it left the U.S. Mint). Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/28/2018 9:25 pm To me it looks like a 1930 or 39? Edited by coop 08/28/2018 9:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 08/29/2018 01:07 am It really looks like a reprocessed (copper plated) cent to me, so that would remove all value, anyway. Otherwise, what is on the obverse is most likely damage caused by a machine (wrapping, vending, counting, etc.).
