  Removed from an aluminum encasement, as Fred said, post Mint damage and no premium.

  Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

  The damage must have taken place very early as the wear appears old. Not a premium coin.

  You all ruined my day! thank you very much for helping me identify what happened. If you have any beekeeping problems please let me know. Don’t know anything about coins but spending them.

  @djheim ... Welcome aboard.... Sorry your coin turned out to be a damaged cent... but there are many... and the learning curve in coin collecting will no doubt result in more such finds if you stick with coins. I do not know anything about beekeeping... but use Buckwheat honey in my tea each day.... Cheers, RickO

  Welcome, might as well start an error binder cause if you're looking you're going to find all sorts of pmd and minor errors. I think it is helpful to know what you find and be able to refer to them in the future. Peace Roy
