What happened to this penny? 2000 D penny

pennycollectorguy

It's a 2000 D penny. I haven't seen one online like this!

Coin Finder

Looks like two cents were glued together and then they came apart. Is there glue on it? Some folks make two headed coins this way...

Coin Finder

Look at it with a loop or magnifying glass. The heads side called the obverse is colored differently becasue the glue or whatever sealed the air in and left the copper red. where there was no glue the air toned the copper. Thats what it looks like anyway. Hard to tell if coin is not hand...

No value... it is post mint damage.... done by squeezing three cents together in a vise...this is the center cent.

How can I tell if it is glue? It doesn't really feel like glue

pennycollectorguy

This is the other side

pennycollectorguy

I thought I found me a "double die" not really sure if that's the correct terminology haha but it's good to know what it finally is

Looks like glue to me. It will probably come off in an acetone soak.

Two Lincoln cents squeezed in a vise. We have seen this before here. PMD= post mint damage

Doesn't look like any genuine mint error I have ever seen. I agree with others who say that it is post mint damage.

ricko

Correct... no value.. other than on cent. Cheers, RickO

I agree with the consensus.
It's a "vice-job."
