    rickmp Frequently flatulent.

    Your poll leaves out 'none of the above'.
    Your penny was damaged after leaving the mint. It's been crushed in some way that's just impossible to know.

    Maby its some sort of double strike? If you got to www.minterrornews.com and go to price guids there are a bunch of different definitions for error coins.

    Welcome to CT. Enjoy! Your penny looks like it was run over by a train, otherwise known as PMD, POST Mint Damage.

    If you are trying to be sarcastic, be careful, there are many new people on here who cannot tell that you are not being serious. Maybe wait a while to see what others think before offering advice.

    It might have fallen from a space ship, that had a time machine. And they somehow snuck it into a bag, just prior to exiting the mint. "Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable,must be the truth." - Arthur Conan Doyle

    Ran over by a truck?

    Could have been a mint truck delivering unrelated coins to the rolling company but it is not a mint error.

    Ohhh, thank you. Sorry, when it comes to error coins and PMD I am new at them =). I did not realize that it was damage that occured after the coin was minted. And thank you for the source!
