The O is incuse. It was pressed into the coin. Stacked cents crushed together. Damage. You’ll see this a lot during CRH events.
These are damaged circulated cents. The Shield Cent was caught between the rotating drum in a washer and the fixed section. As the laundry spins...
You live near an LCS that dumps common coinage and when there’s volume, the regular circulating coins are mixed in. So you get rolls of...
