I think it's more than likely just pmd! Post mint damage. It does Look like Somone wore it as a necklace maybe at one point lol. But nothing more. And yes its a 1964D.

 

Welcome back to the fray!

 

I will forever be grateful to the PCGS grading service that they condense the Sm. White Anac description: CLEANED SCRATCHED POLISHED CORROSION TO:
Env. Damage- XF Details.

 

Wow! That penny led a hard hard life.

 

One of my favorite altered cents. 1909 VDB.

 

holey Magnentius from Arles, France

 

One of mine

 

Welcome back.

 

It's a bullet hole. It hit Abe on the side, made a U-Turn and hit him in the back of the head.

What's today's date again?

 

@dwhiz. Do you know if the year 1876 has any particular significance? Very interesting group. Thanks for posting. James

 

I'll see your messed up 1876 half and raise you this one.

1876 was the US centennial.

 

Hey, I have a 1964-D too! (I may or may not know who did this when they were a kid...)

 

I call this the Armageddon Quarter. Found in an intersection crosswalk on August 28, 2024. I forgot to record the time but it was in the A.M. on my way to the bus station.

It's a 2006 Colorado Quarter. You can see what's left of the "Colorful Colorado" banner on the First image about 3/4 down.
