Bradsjen22 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 08/29/2023 2:35 pm I inherited some coins and I found this 1911 Lincoln Cent with a huge indentation across the whole obverse side. Would appreciate some feedback on what it could be. * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. It's very important to have in the title. * Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19136 Posts	Posted 08/29/2023 3:14 pm A ton of post-strike damage. Looks to have been cleaned some time agio. An end-on rim photo--large and sharp--would be welcome. An accurate weight to two decimal places might be fun to know. Report this Post to the Staff

oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 4135 Posts	Posted 08/29/2023 5:20 pm Parking lot coin and maybe a screw driver was on top of coin when ran over? Just guessing. Report this Post to the Staff

Concerning the field dings and scratches I agree with the others, it seems to have been altered after strike. The weight and diameter would be helpful concerning "a huge indentation". Thanks, Doug.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95403 Posts	Posted 08/29/2023 6:59 pm I think that this is just a parking lot cent, and at some point it was laying on an object and got ran over - even the rim was squashed Collecting since 1972.
