Just a normal cent.
Just look at the distortion of the coin's design around the hole. The ONLY way that could happen is if the hole was drilled after the coin was...
I may be wrong but I think the large date is the most common one. I think there is a doubled die large date that is valuable but yours is not a...

The real answer is, environmental damage. By no means are all of the "copper nickels" on the forum dated 2002. Spend a few minutes searching and...

I've seen a man patch an old tractor radiator by soldering a cent over the hole.
Hmmm, looks like a large date to me.
That is ridiculous, of course you can ask questions that is the whole point of the forum! You seem as if you genuinely want to learn and you can...
