I found this 1978 penny that has the bottom of the word trust cut off. Is this a manafacturing error? I tried to upload a picture but it was to large.

damage from a coin rolling machine. The metal is peeled away from the bottoms of the letters toward the edge. Post Mint Damage
Ive looked through all my coins at least 5 times looking for things. Where can I get some more older rolls of pennies cheap?
Try grocery stores that re-roll their coins. Even the smaller corner stores have an excess of pennies. You'd be surprised at what you can find in them. Or buy boxes of pennies from the bank. You'll increase your odds by going through bulk.
If post mint damage were to increase the value of any coin, I'd be out there hammering and squeezing all my circulated loose change I intend to buy snickers bars with and selling them on eBay.
