I have held on to this penny for a few years. Unfortunately I have lost my job in April of this year , and I am looking for a bright light somewhere. Can anyone advise on this penny please? TIA.

    Your cent is damaged.

    Another coin was pressed into it, after it
    was in circulation. That's why the reverse
    side is flattened.

    It's considered damaged/altered.

    Sorry......

    Fred, I am not giving up, I have 5 shoeboxes of questionable coins I've put aside for this rainy day. I know somewhere in there is a gem. But thank you...

    Refreshing to see a newbie take an expert's advice for what it's worth. S(he?) even thanked him.
