    To me it just looks like a beat up 1935 with a possible die chip in the date.

    Die chipped 1933? Worn to about goodish levels. (Don't sent it in for grading as it is likely to disapoint.)

    Looks like a deformed 1935 to me.

    Yes it is. Philadelphia had this thing against D marks on their production floor. I'm guessing that you would recommend this 1935 plain be sent in for authentication?

    You mock yet looked at what happened in 1989 with the Washington quarter.

    1935, and it's simply been
    smashed a bid, after it was
    in circulation.

    It's not an error, so please don't
    waste any fees whatsoever.

    This simply a smashed date.

    Back when I was in high school, I spotted what looked like a 1943 copper cent. After I compared it with the date style of the 1943 cent (It had a blob that looked like a "3" and not a "3" that was larger and below the horizontal line of the "4", which was required), I concluded that it was post mint damage, although I didn't know about such fancy language back then. My father was convinced otherwise and insisted on taking it to one of the guys at the Gimbels Coin Department.

    The guy my father ended up showing this treasure to was the coin clerk knew the least in the department. He declared that there was "no such thing as a 1943 copper cent" which made my father's find instantly worthless without looking at it. So ended the saga of out "1943 copper cent."

    I would say it's a 1935
