While cataloguing my husbands collection I came across what I think is an Indian Head penny with either error or someone went to great lengths to ruin this coin.

    Looks like someone was playing around with a vise.

    Definitely mangled post-mint, sorry.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    Another vote for post mint damage. Either spend it or put it on eBay.image
