Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 01/18/2023 7:31 pm @kit, first welcome to CCF. Second, I'm glad that you were able to post a picture of your cent. I agree with the frog though that this looks like damage rather than a mint error.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94728 Posts	Posted 01/18/2023 8:33 pm this is a 'parking lot' coin. Covered in road rash. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/19/2023 11:39 am Damaged coin. How much damage to affect a coins value? See the incuse marks on this coin. Just one of them that are damage, ruins the value for this coin. So just a spender. (unless you are saving copper coins) Report this Post to the Staff
