Kinda also looks like a face behind Lincoln's face. The reverse all those are blowouts also. It's all raised coming out. The penny weighs 2.5 grams. pretty cool looking. What happen?

The US Mint has been churning out these famously unstable pieces of junk for going on 40 years now, with no apparent effort to improve the product.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/10/2020 8:42 pm I would have tossed this one back into circulation without a look. Even if it were, the condition of the coin would dismiss any premium. My feeling about coins: If the coin under my glass is such a low quality that I would not buy it, toss it back. Just because a coin looks different, doesn't make it a collectable. They were created to full fill a purpose. To make change. Probably that describes 99.9% of all of the coinage. Save the best, spend the rest. Report this Post to the Staff
