A Questionable Penny

Before I leave, What happened to this penny? I found it while coin roll hunting. The unusually flat looking rim is slightly concave.

I will say that the edge of your coin has been filed or sanded off.

 

I agree , someone tried to imitate an Incomplete planchet error .

 

Not the real deal an imitation of a error which in this case would be a straight clip.Still a decent old copper cent i would keep it for educational purposes.

 

Ok, thanks but why would someone imitate a coin error

 

$$$$$$$$$$$ and more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

 

To make money by scaming people the coin collecting world today is dangerous.

 

Pick one:
1. Because they don't have anything better to do.
2. Because they're stupid.
3. Because they want to try to rip someone off.
4. All of the above.

 

To summarize: They want to rip someone off because they are stupid and have nothing better to do

 

If filed off it’s damaged and worth face value. If a clip (incomplete planchet) it’s worth more. There’s the curved clip, a straight clip and a ragged clip. Yours appears to be damaged.

 

Who, what, when, and how! Only the idiot that created it has the why... Sorry it wasn't what you hoped, keep posting, thank you.

 

i have even gotten some of these from (normally) reputable dealers,,,,many with feedback in the tens of thousands...just once in a while they slip and sell a coin that is altered, i always send em back for full refund.and explanation as to why...

 

File job.

 

Thanks yall, now I’ll just keep this in my novelty box.

 

I pick number 4.....
