    I found this in the vaccum at the car wash can anyone help determine legitimacy and value I can't afford to have it graded.

    That's what I thought at first but there are no mirror image impressions

    I think the point is that the coin was manipulated . It's not a Mint Error . It's considered "Physical Damage " . :(

    Looks like a vise job to me too, though I don't know for sure.

    Well, this is not genuine nor is it a well-done fake. But it is an interesting find, @Greg leonard . Below are a couple of moderately OK fakes.

    Welcome to CT Greg. I would have to go along with the others and say it was a poor attempt to create an error, so PMD . . . or, it was damaged by being sucked up in an industrial vacuum. LOL

    The place you found it suggests to me it was used with a couple of other pennies as a shim somewhere on a vehicle and came loose during the car wash.
