@Pjtowks …Go to doubleddie.com and read everything…especially the section about how dies are made. Once you understand this, you will know that this parking lot/road rage cent could not have happened at the Mint.
There's a good idea. Find a wishing well, toss it in, make a wish, and maybe your next find will be something good!
Only dumb question is one not asked. So Keep asking so you can learn. Welcome to Coin talk. That coin has had a rough life in a parking lot somewhere.
Reading up on the minting process should be of help. There is no way that coin came out of the mint in that condition.
Fountain fodder . . . A perfect start to an asphalt type set. Kids, never store your allowance money in the garbage disposal . . Z
Yikes. Pretty sure the only way it'll ever have a chance of being collectable is if you find one of these to put it in. I save all cents like yours just to be reborn into something better.
Honestly, I try to be patient...but Dear Lord, why....WHY...would someone think this coin is an error?
