I came across this in my father's collection and couldn't find what this could A:be classified as, and
B: if this could be of value

Hopefully I can get some input. New to the site and excited to explore my coins and learn about errors.

Mangled post mint

 

That's a damaged coin. It looks like someone pounded on its edge with a hammer, or squeezed it with pliers. It doesn't have extra value (beyond its sentimental value to you); in fact, it may not even be worth a cent, because machines that are expecting cents won't accept it.

Sorry your first post here didn't confirm a treasure; I hope you'll post some more of what you're finding. Welcome to CoinTalk!

 

I figured as much since I couldn't find others like it thank you guys so much for the input. That was the weirdest of them all the others should be interesting!
Any tips on what to look for ?

Also to not start a new thread... did I make the mistake of putting my full name? It seems I can't make a username. Any suggestions appreciated. Excited to get into this community

 

Not sure, but think whenever you make a user name, you're stuck with it. Perhaps an administrator could help you with this. Shouldn't be too much trouble if you don't give your e-mail. Welcome to CT, regardless.
