Hi I am wondering if anyone can give me any feedback on this coin plz...I do not mean to butt in somewhere or be rude. Thank you for your help
Why do you bother to even say that? You are free to ask all the questions you want. Your Cent is what I call DEFDAM - Definitely Damaged. That is all circulation wear and tear. No mint errors of any kind If you find any coins that look different try to create your new threads over at the Error Coins forum of CoinTalk.. Not the What's it Worth forum. First and most importantly try to find out if it is in fact an actual mint error. Worry about value last. I'm just giving a suggestion. I'm not trying to be bossy
your coins is 75 years old with normal circulation wear and tear. During that 75 year timeframe it gets mishandled, stacked, thrown, run over, hit with things, stacked in purses, jars, stuck in coin machines, dropped on the street / run over by lawn mowers and cars, used for arts and crafts, etc. Coins are the only thing where people do not coddle and protect them. Think of watches, jewelry, crystal glassware, or about anything else if you put it all in a big bag and shook it around ... those would get scratched, dinged, broken, damaged too.
Hey, we can see the coin in the photo, it's mostly in focus and cropped so we don't see the breakfast dishes or whatever. At that point, you're already a 6 of 10. When looking to see if it's an error, ask yourself how could it have happened in the minting process vs. afterwards. When the dies and the collar came together at the mint to strike the coin, everything would have been nice and aligned - square, flat. Look at a new coin. Movement of metal is often key - the rim below the bust got PUSHED by something - as others have said, coins lead rough lives. That happened after it left the mint. So damaged...
