coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/28/2021 10:05 am No. It is coin damage. Coin damage is just a face value coin. If there were money for damaged coins, there would be no change, as they would damaged and sold for over face value. A true collector wants mint condition coin that are of interest to him/her. Coin damage is the graffiti appearance to a coin collector. Report this Post to the Staff

Of course - I'm still learning about this subject and my assumptions are just that.. un-educated guesses at this point. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7955 Posts	Posted 02/28/2021 8:39 pm @sunny, it's an interesting effect, as Abe looks like he's either napping, or winking at you. What the other collectors here are saying is that it's caused by a hit to the coin (damage), just like that damage to Abe's nostril, or the scratches on his forehead. But in this case, because it hit the eye, it might look like an error. Keep it for the novelty, or try to sell it on ebay as a "Sleepy Abe" cent (but don't expect too much).
