Not sure what I have here, the penny is really thin on the edge. Are these mark's caused by dye damage? I can see a s under the date and it's a 1920 something.

Almost looks to have been in some kind of vise or squeeze device, and it is really hard to tell the last two numbers from the obverse photo, but , probably in the 1920's something.

Damage of some sort. Doesn't really matter what in that condition.
The only value is in the copper.

I agree. Between the heavy circulation wear and this more recent damage, I'm thinking it is only worth face value.

Simply cannot tell given the somewhat soft and washed out photos posted. Wear and damage isn't helping either. Would like to see the coin in-hand.
