I think this may be a mint error can anyone help me.

If you look at the coin really good even noticed on the back where it says United States of America on the United and states none of it is there is like a blur. And then of is probably 20% and then on And America is maybe 35% and all this is the color of copper including United States where it's missing letters. Which to me Much I would almost say it would have be done at the mint because United States, if it was damaged it would be silver there and it's the color of copper at the back of the coin from the way it was hit appears to be a man it's almost like a hat on sitting there with almost like a robe dress on. One arm looks like a hand the other arm looks like a claw the penny is indented from the front going towards the back. There are no hit markings on the front can't understand or explain that. Did coin has a indention cushion in the front outward, but there is no mark on the front of the coin showing how it got pushed outward towards the back.

Clear, close up images of the coin front and back.

pictures are worth a thousand words and you're up to about 150 so far.

btw, sounds like damage. FYI, The indent would be a damage marking.

 

Corn Crop Circles ??

I'm totally clueless if this is a quarter, nickle, cent ? or what year, etc .... need pictures.

 

Welcome to CT. We need pictures.

 

I am thinking a dime.

 

sounds like this ...


but in rereading for the 4th time, I caught the single word "Penny" in the run on sentences .. so what penny has corn on it.

I would assume it's a zincoln due to the possible copper and silver (zinc core).

 

Buddy.. Are you talking about the same coin or 3 different coins?
Corn?
Silver?
Penny?

Or trolling?

 

attempting to reread this again. I think you meant "coin" instead of "corn"
done attempting to interpret it ... need pictures.

 

PMD

Copper plating was scraped off the reverse exposing the zinc core.

 

I left pics and fixed the wording sorry

 

definitely damaged.

badly damaged.

 

I understand that is badly damaged but what about United States of America if it would have rubbed off then it would be silver the color of zinc but it's not it's missing and it still copper but it seems like it would be a mint error

 

It wasn't totally rubbed (worn from friction) off.


Might need @Kasia trainwreck soon ..

 

It's just damaged, not an error. PMD (post minting damage)

 

That's why I'm so confused. In the United States of America if it was work off or down it would be the color of zinc. There is a copper coating overall the area of where the letters were supposed to be.

 

let's rephrase that.

If it was TOTALLY WORN off or worn down it would be the color of zinc.

It wasn't totally worn down.

even though it's a super thin copper plate, it still wasn't totally worn down. It still has thickness.



If you ask me I'd guess that it spun around and the verbage etc on it pushed down and then worn down. Maybe it was a dryer coin. https://www.cointalk.com/threads/dime-sized-penny.331521/#post-3324320

 

I think you are really missing out on the details here. It is very simple. Look at the coin of where United States of America should be. You can just about determine this while United States you can hardly see anything at all other than the copper coat in it I love just a little in America a little more they're all copper color coated. If the coin was just a worn-down coin where the United States of America was if it was worn down it would not be the color of copper it would be the color of zinc I hope you understand I know it's a little confusing

 

Okay, we'll leave it up to your expertise.
