It's obviously smaller than the regular Penny and is missing in God we trust,the L in liberty and missing edge all around. I was wondering if someone could tell me whether or not this was Mis-struck or was it altered manually by somebody? Thanks for your help!

Spence Moderator United States 34419 Posts	Posted 11/30/2021 06:56 am @nvr, first welcome to CCF. Second, Imagree that this coin was damaged by shaving down of the rim. Whether this was intentional or not, I don't think that we will ever know.
