JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21630 Posts	Posted 05/21/2022 1:12 pm to the CCF That looks like a heavily punched counterstamp. You can see it bulging on the reverse. It would be classed as damage, value 1 cent. FYI- Coins are not printed, they are struck. Currency is printed. Edited by JimmyD 05/21/2022 1:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 05/21/2022 1:41 pm Welcome! This is damage on your coin. It is worth one cent. Metal alphanumeric stamps are readily available, and someone used one to mark up you cent. Why? No idea! I can personal make as many as you want...in two different sizes even!
