byuftbl New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 04/19/2024 02:30 am I'm new here, basically curious on if this coin is damaged or is an error? It doesn't seem to be raised, it just appears like marker was used on it but I can't tell as it looks almost like it was supposed to be there. I googled it but couldn't see anywhere saying it's an error, so thought I'd find people who might be more in the know. I always check coins for possible errors but can't say I really collect coins or anything. Just hoping I strike it lucky with a rare penny somehow making it into my hands. Thanks!

It is post-mint damage ( PMD) of some sort, although it's hard to tell exactly with the out-of-focus pictures. Most likely the copper plating has been removed from the surface exposing the zinc underneath. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

Nope - you have a damaged cent that is worth 1 cent. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
