PMD, looks like it got hit

 

Looks pretty awful. I would spend it as quickly as possible and not worry what caused it.

 

It was abused. Poor penny.

 

It looks like the rest of the damage to me!

I have the same year and that’s what brought me here so it has to be error

 

No, no it doesn't. a 59 year old cent has gone through so many hands and environments that its bound to be damaged in a number of ways. Not an error, just Post Mint Damage.

It is also helpful if you post a picture of your coin.

 

That is a case of road rash and nothing more.

 

I found one like that not too long ago. It is post mint damage and is only worth 1¢.

 

Go to Wexler's web site, doubleddie.com, and select "How dies are made". This will teach you that the damage you see in the coins you find could not have been created before it left the Mint.

Doing this one thing will advance you lightyears ahead in this hobby.

wondering why a 15 month-old post appears in today's feed

 

because Rockingdude replied to it this morning.

 

happens all the time around here. Stick around the "What's It Worth" page for a while ...

 

Common sense isn't so common.
