It was run over in the parking lot. It may not even go through the CoinStar machine. At least it is still worth a cent.
Damage. Looks like it went through a garbage disposal Honestly though, who knows how it was damaged for sure, just that it was. Not an error.
Above the date it looks kinda like those marks are numbers . I dunno there were too many pattern shapes to be random and the other side isn't like that
Do you have a million dollars to bet right now? Cause I will be willing to bet that this is 100%damaged lol unless this is a 1943 copper, 1955 s doubled die, or the 1969 s doubled die, this coin would end up in the trash if it were mine. Even if it's a doubled die for this year
Lol chop mark? This country must be one messed up country if that was a chop mark haha. Nice joke. Made me laugh
Welcome to the forum! Its for sure all of us were at the beginner stage before. The brain tries to correlate what it sees with what it already has seen, and so marks, stains, corrosion, color changes, is guessed at by the brain. So bare with the agony of getting many things wrong before the reversal occurs. By the way, I have replaced jammed garbage disposals in my rentals, and found slices and gouged coins the problem, so that is a good possibility as the coin jumps around before it give up. If you found this one in circulation, so person reached in after it stopped and pulled it out. Jim
