error identification

Posts: 2 ✭
My father gave me thousands of wheat cent coins. I separated the 1909 - 1939 and have 1,468 rolled by date & mint mark. There were 2 rolls labeled oddities that interested me. I am starting to catch some of the lingo like “clipped” & “lamination error”. However I am unable to figure this one out. Was this minted this way or was it modified after circulation? Thank you for any replies.

It's damaged - looks like it was removed
from a "Lucky Penny" aluminum ring.
@djheim Welcome to the forums.
Here are a few links to assist as you go through those rolls:

Enjoy and have fun!
Post for comparison. Coin Facts.
Removed from an aluminum encasement, as Fred said, post Mint damage and no premium.

The damage must have taken place very early as the wear appears old. Not a premium coin.

I might add that it is worth keeping as an example of what this scenrio looks like.
You all ruined my day! thank you very much for helping me identify what happened. If you have any beekeeping problems please let me know. Don’t know anything about coins but spending them.
Again Thank You,
Dave
@djheim ... Welcome aboard.... Sorry your coin turned out to be a damaged cent... but there are many... and the learning curve in coin collecting will no doubt result in more such finds if you stick with coins. I do not know anything about beekeeping... but use Buckwheat honey in my tea each day.... Cheers, RickO
Happy New Year and Welcome to CU
Be happy in your new inherited hobby
I won't call it the day being ruined though ....... along the way you'll definitely find out more unfavorable facts not only on coins but also in life
Welcome, might as well start an error binder cause if you're looking you're going to find all sorts of pmd and minor errors. I think it is helpful to know what you find and be able to refer to them in the future. Peace Roy
