Minnimarine Pillar of the Community United States 721 Posts	Posted 07/31/2021 4:26 pm When taking pictures it helps to lay the coin flat for a better view of both obverse and reverse. I agree with jasper Edited by Minnimarine 07/31/2021 4:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Skittypop New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 07/31/2021 4:39 pm It's definitely damaged, but I believe it was damaged at the mint while going thru the stamping machine. If it was, would it be an error coin, or just a chewed up penny as far as collectibility goes? I'll try and get some better pictures of it if I can. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19146 Posts	Posted 07/31/2021 4:50 pm Is there any evidence of zinc showing? What is the coin's weight? Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95517 Posts	Posted 07/31/2021 4:57 pm The coin looks crushed to me. Look at the edge - it is crimped and folded on itself. Nee better pictures of the coin from directly above and of the edge if you can. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/31/2021 4:58 pm The coin is bent. So it wasn't struck that way. Intentional damage is never worth more than face value. http://goccf.com/t/398578#3412710 Edited by coop 07/31/2021 5:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 07/31/2021 5:10 pm This coin did not leave the mint looking this way. It is post mint damage ( PMD), no mint error, sorry. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
Skittypop New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 07/31/2021 5:20 pm No zinc showing anywhere. Don't have anything to weight it with. Here's a couple pics, but I still lack quality photo experience. Report this Post to the Staff

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 07/31/2021 6:21 pm Well I am totally baffled why with all that damage and beat to a pulp there is no Zinc exposure . Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21601 Posts	Posted 07/31/2021 6:36 pm Looks like it may have been replated after being damaged. Even if it was a copper coin, there would be some colour variance in the damaged areas. The colour just seems too uniform. Edited by JimmyD 07/31/2021 6:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95517 Posts	Posted 07/31/2021 6:57 pm Well, I think the coin was squeezed. look at the last picture, by the 'NT' in ceNT. the rim is pushed in and the coin get wider slightly then narrows where the rim is at normal height again. A vise job with a re=plate? Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Skittypop New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 07/31/2021 7:01 pm I really do appreciate y'all looking and giving opinions on this coin. I've had this coin in my position for the last 13 years. I noticed it in my pocket change and as memory serves me there were several new pennies in the lot. Like all of you, I scan all change I get checking for silver, wheats and other old stuff. Under a 20 loop you can see more detail. Damaged yes, but I don't think it was in bubbas vice. Report this Post to the Staff
