There is no way to say how it got damaged, but it certainly didn't happen at the mint. Just extremely beat up.

 

Could be road rash. Could be parking lot. Can't be Mint.

 

Physical damage . Looks like it spent time in a shopping Mall parking lot .

 

DEFDAM - Definitely Damaged

But that didn't occur at the US Mint. None of the choices in your poll are Correct.

 

Whatever it was, the coin lost the battle and the war!

 

That right there is all road rash. Probably run over a few times and or dragged.

 

heyEpperson2359 welcome to CT. yea whatever happened, it hit hard, fast and repetitive. busy parking lot, busy road/interstate. 100% sure that this damage didn't happen at the mint before circulation. good luck man

 

That is an ugly penny!

 

Looks like it was run over in a parking lot!

 

If there was an award for ugly, that would win lol.

 

its still a wheatie and a 1958 not 7.

 

What am I, a detective? It’s damaged!

 

Thanks to each and everyone of you guys that replied thank you

 

A while back, I heard a clack..clack on my car. I thought I had run over a nail. Believe it or not, a quarter had gone into my tire sideways. Luckily, I did not have to replace the tire. The service station I go to had to take the tire off the car and use a locking pliers to get it out and he was able to patch it. The coin had almost half of it "sanded" off. I wish I had kept it, but that was over 20 years ago.

 

PMD for sure! Welcome to CT and better luck next time.

 

Over 60 years of circulation damage. That's how it happened.

 

How did that happen? Let me see.

 

not even close. I've seen worse here at CT.....
