To the CCF

Pictures are pretty small to tell anything.
Need larger cropped pictures of both sides.
To identify errors and varieties, we have to
be able to see all the detail on the coin.

Exactly what is it you are inquiring about?
There are many damaged coins and you probably
won't find two the same.

Wow the edge is destroyed. Maybe it got stuck in a change counter at some point.
Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection:

Thank you for your input I am just curious if it is possibaly from the mint the only reason I thought it may be is due to the fact that is the same thickness and size as other pennys and the depth of the relief of Lincoln's head and the dammaged edges are exactly the same and so is the reverse side

Looks like someone's "coin spooning" experiment. or Dryer Coin?
