Hello friends.. I am new at this so please bare with me.. I found this 1988 penny.. see photos... after the 1988 on the obverse side there is a (I do not know what to call it). I didn't think it was just a hit the coin may have taken. There is a high edge on that mark as you can see. What do you think?
Yes, your coin has taken some sort of hit, known as post mint damage ( PMD). This is not a mint error, and this damage is of no value to collectors, so no premium I'm afraid, but keep searching!
