It's essential to have it in the title. * I have been holding this penny for a while. I would like to know what you guys think of it. Weak strike, or could it be a die pressure adjustment? Or is it nothing? Either way I think it's a cool looking penny in my collection. Report this Post to the Staff

oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 4135 Posts	Posted 02/11/2025 06:41 am Looks like a coin that has been in a parking lot. We see a lot of these and has no extra value, it is a damaged coin. Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15386 Posts	Posted 02/12/2025 06:05 am to the CCF I agree - a damaged coin. Do you have a scale? If not think about purchasing one that measures in grams with resolution to 2 decimal places. Should cost less than $25. A scale is a really helpful tool - and would show this cent is underweight due to the metal loss. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
