without trying to be mean do you really think that somehow happened at the mint? It's post mint damage. Please refer to this website if you are looking for mint error's http://www.error-ref.com/

 

Thanks Eric! Wasn't aware of the sight!

 

no problem, it is a great site for learning

 

It spent some time in a parking lot

 

Yes.. It's called a NON Mint Error

 

Well.........it could be worth some money if you stood in the parking lot or roadway where it occurred long enough for a vehicle to hit you. Then you could sue!

It is always possible that collecting roadkill will be fun and profitable. A niche market for elite atypical numismatists. In that case I could see the value of that particular coin maybe rise a bit. It might even get an astronomical sum. I mean if n old grilled cheese sandwich could fetch 28 thousand dollars on ebay, this cent has at least a chance of value, however slight a chance.

 

Ah, but therein lies the rub, which parking lot? If it's the Mint parking lot it's a Mint error.

 

It is a F.O.R.D...found on road dead...!

 

Great site Eric! Who knew?

 

Lol

 

I have a 1977 but under date it looks like a circle not a P, D, or S. Could that be possible?

 

Coulf be a D Mint Mark with a Die Chip.. That would look like a small blob of a circle.

 

Pictures?

 

Could also be a Philadelphia coin with a punch mark.

 

It's extremely damaged

 

It's called a Pacman, I have one myself.
