<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pennyjoy, post: 1806423, member: 57767&quot;]I have several wheat pennies (I just started my collection and I am just trying to educate myself on all of this, and am having so much fun!) that have been mangled by the mint.&nbsp; They look like the original mangling, as the colors in the deep groves are the same color as the coin.&nbsp; I have one I call Frankenstein, as among his other attribute he is missing a piece of his skull, and I have one I just found I named Scarface because Mr. Lincoln&#039;s face has huge gouges out of it, in his cheek and his nose.&nbsp; These look to be original mangling.&nbsp; Some of these pennies have errors on both sides of the coins, reverse errors, letter errors, etc., things of that nature.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I was just wondering if there was any value in a mangled coin by the mint, or is it just considered a damaged coin?&nbsp; Thanks for any responses!&nbsp; I have been trying to find this type of error in my research&nbsp; and the only phrase that really matches is &quot;damaged&quot; beyond belief <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
