brodman New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 10/15/2009 5:00 pm I recently inherited a small coin collection form my Grandmother, while looking through the coins I found what appears to be an undersized penny. Can anyone shed some light on how this happens and what the value could be. Thanks, Brian Edited by brodman 10/15/2009 5:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 10/15/2009 11:20 pm As others have said, it is just damage. Ever been to a commercial laundromat and heard a coin rattling around in the fins of a dryer? That coin is the end result of that repeated tumbling against the steel drum of a dryer.

jcook54 Pillar of the Community United States 533 Posts	Posted 10/19/2009 4:13 pm Welcome! I've seen these before but was wondering if anyone has seen one of these on ebay being sold as an error of some type? I did a brief search for one but came up empty. You never know, there may be a premium out there for these "rare" beauties. Report this Post to the Staff

Found in rolls know someone that gave some of these from that source. Just damaged. Report this Post to the Staff
