1911 p penny.

Found this 1911 p penny with few errors.. looks like damage but the X on front and back are raised metal and there's pitting on the coin before it was stamped.. what do you guys think..?

This is not a Mint error. The raised metal on both X'es has been displaced from the deep gouges next to each one.

? Idk what that means.. I'll just take it as not mint error..

 

Someone took a very sharp blade and cut into the copper at an angle to make an X..
That technique makes it appear raised.

 

I agree about the X's being damage from a cut. But your coin also has Lamination errors on the reverse. Some metal looks like it has flaked away and left the pitting.

 

thank you

 

Your coin has a lamination peel though.

 

is it worth a cardboard holder 2x2?

 

What a shame it was defaced. Thdtbis a nice lamination error on the reverse.

 

it's a 1911. So it's worth keeping nevertheless ...

That depend on how many you have.
