    Any thoughts on what this 1915 penny is worth? I found this coin a few days ago. The L and I appear to have been either cut off or printed too far to the left, and a few other areas appear to have errors (such as Lincoln's hair).
    I know very little when it comes to errors and was hoping you folks might know the answer. I have not attempted to clean it. Some of the areas that appear to be scratches aren't visible when I view at the penny through a good magnifier. (It's possible my scanner isn't working perfectly).


    Thoughts?

    Thank you in advance to all who respond.

    I see a lamination above Liberty. The rest I would attribute to over 100 years of circulation.

    It's worth a few cents. Don't quit your day job.

    Just above the word LIBERTY appears to be a lamination issue but you can see the E in LIBERTY is damaged. If you look above the word LIBERTY You can see a slight circular scrape. That is damage. It is caused by a coin rolling machine. At best this coin should be worth maybe a quarter.
