1976D no tails/wheat back , no back at all

There is no back to this 1976 D penny. The front is completely stamped, but kind of stamped further in, but the back is blank, smooth, nothing is there... common? worth money?

Possibly worth a fortune...can we see it?

 

Without pics, we can't tell you much.
What I can tell you, though, is it was never a wheat back,
it was a memorial back. The reverse was ground off AFTER
leaving the mint. It's just damaged.

 

let me know if this is clear

 

Interesting in that it shows a rim, so not your usual grinding wheel manufactured "error". Perhaps @Fred Weinberg might comment. Be patient opinions will come

 

Prolly shouldn't get peoples' hopes up like that...

 

I think it is a magicians coin. See the extra rim on the obverse.

 

Yup, machined off in some way, most likely in an attempt to make a magician's coin.

 

The Obverse is fine. It looks like a Misaligned Die Strike.
I think this Cent might be a Cent that broke in half.
Split after strike.
You can see a ghostly image of Lincoln on the Blank side.

Can we see a picture of the edge?

 

Can we see better pictures in general? I don't necessarily agree that the coin broke in half but I would like to see some clearer pictures.

EDIT: perhaps I stand corrected. Def would like to see pictures of the edge.

 

Here is an example from my collection -

 

Someone did something to this coin. Looks smoothed and with a shadow like Lincoln (facing left, instead of right). Not from the Mint. Occurred afterwards.
Welcome to CT.

EDITED: It may be a split as on Paddy's coin. He is showing a shadow on his as well. I have to admit, I've never seen a split planchet.

 

It certainly isn't like that, it's very smooth...

 

Do these work?

 

Do you have access to a scale that weighs to the nearest gram?
It looks very thin, I am definitely leaning towards @paddyman98 answer.

 

The shadow I think, is the proof.

Not a wheat back, and it looks cleaned to me as well as damaged.

 

Paddys example looks pretty smooth but I guess it could be the photos.
