195? Cent damage

Opinions on damaged penny requested. The date and if all damage was post mint. Thanks

It looks like PMD to me. Note that the rim has been obliterated in the same position on both sides, 3-6 o'clock on the obverse and 12-3 o'clock on the reverse.

My vote is for 1956! ~ Chris

 

All post-mint damage, I'm afraid.

Here's a coin from 195, by the way, if you're interested:


Julia Domna, AD 193-211.
Roman AR denarius, 3.32 g, 18 mm, 11 h.
Rome, AD 195, issue 6.
Obv: IVLIA DOMNA AVG, bare-headed and draped bust right.
Rev: VESTA, Vesta enthroned left, holding Palladium and scepter.
Refs: RIC 538; BMCRE 56; Hill 136; CRE 414; Cohen 221; RCV 6611.

 

That is funny.

@Lost Boy
Your Cent has some sort of corrosion damage on both sides.

Thank you gentlemen. I thought as much but wanted to be sure before I retired it.

 

I agree 1956. Looks like my cow stepped on the date.

 

Looks like a 1956 date to me but it has suffered a lot of damage.
