NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17937 Posts	Posted 02/08/2022 3:34 pm Sorry, it's just a damaged coin. Been on a railroad track or suffered some other indignity. The old pre-decimal British penny, especially in the 1960s, was quite a popular plaything for kids - it was big but had a low face value. They got kicked around playgrounds, struck with hammers, stamped with punches and generally mistreated!

Sap Moderator Australia 16829 Posts	Posted 02/08/2022 7:35 pm As a general rule, if a coin has dents or impressions pressed into a coin - especially if there is a corresponding bulge in the other side - it's not an error, it's just been hit with something sharp and/or heavy. Here in Australia, we call the kind of damage seen on this coin "lawnmower damage", because it looks like it got caught by a lawnmower and smashed repeatedly by the blades. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
Princetane Pillar of the Community 4628 Posts	Posted 02/09/2022 10:19 pm Has anyone else noticed the very high number of newbies showing damaged and dented common coins and claiming they are errors lately? This is the 3rd newbie in 2 weeks to do this. Mods, we should have a sticky where the newbies can post all their alleged error coins in it to their hearts content and anyone wanting to help them can do it there. As for this coin - words fail me, have they closed the schools in Lithuania? Report this Post to the Staff
