Elongated 1944 penny in a coin roll

Good morning all

thought this was a fun find especially in a coin roll as it barely fit and I had trouble getting it out. Was hoping it was a nickel but I will settle for this lol.

Just damage still a wheatie.

 

Yup what @potty dollar 1878 said, Damaged coin.

Always nice to find a wheatie in circulation though

 

Thanks for the replies, I know it’s damage ( unlike previous threads I’ve created ) starting to finally see damage now I’m brushing up on how the coins are made, this one was just a fun find so thought I would share

 

That was used to correct the gunsight on a battleship near the end of WW2.

(Just kidding. No one knows how that got damaged. Probably a hammer blow in HS Auto Shop in the 50s…Spark)

 

I thought it might of been done in one of those machines used at the carnivals to damage coins.

 

Funny how it made it into a roll, being difficult to fit without tearing the paper.

 

Not even close to an elongated cent but it is damaged.
