Today was a nice sunny day so I took pics of unusual coins.
Can you tell me if this coin is an error, what has happened to it?
This is a penny.
The kangaroo's body is missing.

If you download a bunch of pics onto coincommunity, then later that same day download another bunch of pics with identical filenames, then the old pics will be deleted and replaced with the new ones. I suspect your penny pictures were named "frontone", "fronttwo", etc, the same as your 20c pics?

Yep. That's better.

As for cause, it looks like a filled die to me, too.

High points on both sides look to be extremely weak so I'd have thought the problem was strike weakness.
Rest in Peace

Or perhaps a thin planchet? What's the weight of the coin?
