JTAC Valued Member United States 72 Posts	Posted 01/09/2021 8:51 pm Its a shame this penny is in such bad shape, but it's pretty neat there isn't a date on it. The mint mark is well established, as well as is "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and the back side of Lincoln's head. The front of his face is almost completely missing. It doesn't seem as though the penny shaved off because the edge of the penny is at the correct height. No visible rubbing damage. What would have caused this? Report this Post to the Staff

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7027 Posts	Posted 01/09/2021 10:40 pm Don't forget the weight when posting questions about coins missing devices...Seeing the reverse I'm thinking it's a copper cent and if the weight is near 3.11g then you have a "grease-filled die issue......
