    These 3 are PMD

    27 post mint damage
    58-d it was an encased cent (lucky cent) that was removed from the holder
    84 post mint damage that removed some plating on the rim

    64-d not sure. Are you looking at the bar below the L? There are some doubled dies that show there but this one looks a bit stronger than the listed ones. You might need better pics and compare it to the listed ones.

  • - 1927 - Wouldn't the word TRUST be gone then? Rim is concave...
    - 1958-D - Rim is concave too. Bezels don't do that...
    - 1984 - Removed plating?
    - 1964-D - is a RPM from what I hear...

    Do you collect pennies?

    Like I said there are some 64-D doubled dies with a bar below the L.
    I think yours is different, it might be an unlisted one or something else.

    Here's some links to 2 similar varieties:

    LOL.... not yelling but my reply is in caps image

    - 1927 - Wouldn't the word TRUST be gone then? Rim is concave... FROM THE DAMAGE, PINCHED
    - 1958-D - Rim is concave too. Bezels don't do that... THEY DO. IT WAS IN A METAL HOLDER, I'LL POST A LINK EXAMPLE
    - 1984 - Removed plating? YES FROM BEING DAMAGED
    - 1964-D - is a RPM from what I hear... CAN'T SEE AN RPM FROM THE PIC BUT LOOK BELOW THE L

    Do you collect pennies? YES

    When people remove the cents from these holders they look like the 58-D. It's crimped down over the rim so it smashes the outer rim and concaves the edge. They made lots of these for advertising and people popped the coins out and spent them.

  • Interesting....

    On the 58' The entire rim is gone. In the Ebay link it looks like you can see at least half of it. So there are "zero" errors that came from the mint like this I assume....

    On the 23' The rim on the other side shows a type of machine error coming from the rim I think (Rather than a PMD - IE put in a vice) The coin is the exact same size as a normal penny. The reverse also as a flat spot at 6:00 (Not flat there on the Obv) You are ruling out machine error then...

    Edited to add: After looking at it again, I can see this impression. Is it any know part of the process when the coin was made? The bar like impressions run all the way up to "WE"

    I think it depends on the encased holder, some overlapped more and some coins were centered better than others.
    Here's a thread on coincommunuity with an example:

    An example of a removed encased cent


    On that 1927 I'd agree that there are zero errors that would look like that, it happened outside the mint.

    On that closeup of the 64-D you can see that it's part of the rim that got damaged.
