It's essential to have it in the title. * Please under stand I am not knowledgeable of coins so this is a all foreign to me and please understand I am not into insulting anybody's hobby or knowledge by trying to deface our American money or any coin to scam for profit I am a very caring person I just don't want to take into a shop and look silly asking a professional in person if it's something that is garbage or just 1 cent Report this Post to the Staff

And like Spence stated damage or a stain in shape of a P - Pareidolia. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73655 Posts	Posted 02/14/2025 8:38 pm To CCF! What you're seeing is PMD and Pareidolia. This coin was probably sanded down, which caused the copper plating to be worn away. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
