1967 Penny-- Is this an error coin or just PMD

Here is a 1967 Penny I found. I don't have the diameter of the coin but it is smaller than every penny I have ever held.





Here it is on the left next to a 1967 dime and another 1967 penny.





Here is the other 1967 penny....





And here is the 1967 dime.....







Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks in advance.

The first 1967 has an altered edge. It was damaged after I left the US Mint and it's not a mint error of any kind unfortunately.

The Dime and the other 1967 Cents have circulation wear and tear

 

How did it get so small?

 

Hmm? It went in the pool.
Seriously, it was mangled and misshapen.

 

It was probably shaved down to fit a 10 cent machine.

 

Only the bored person who did it would know that. Back then they made Cents smaller to use them as Dimes in phone booths. Have you ever heard the saying.. drop a dime?

It's still not a mint error.

 

The first cent is altered, so damaged after leaving the mint. The dime and the other cent are worn from circulation.
