The coin is a keeper because it has a different strike,
which is also a question for another time.

I'm very interested in what you guys think.
What Year ?

    Not seeing a full image of the coin, I will hazard saying it is a damaged 1955 WB Lincoln cent.

    I agree, deductions, deductioning.
    Also, think about a prominite S as it has a sherif look on the kick.
    But WHY ?

    But Why, when it could have been a perfect gem.
    Its over my head, because its copper and could have been zinc.

    First few pics look like something someone did in a "modern impressionistic" art class.....

    What is a "different strike"?

    Why no pic of the full coin?

    Why does it seem that all these great rarities are so heavily damaged?

    As stated above, it is a mangled 1965.

    Normal 65 that someone took a grinder to.

    Could be. It has to be 1965 or later Cent because according to the pictures it has a Memorial Reverse.

    Is there a reason why we are discussing a coin that lost a fight with a lawn mower?

    After you spend enough time here you will learn which posters; perhaps like this one; are not worth wasting your time with. No there is no good reason to discuss this coin, (imo) the op likes to play games and many folks here have lots of time on their hands to indulge the op.

    It's not just the mutilation, this coin has some black foreign substance, too, indicating a more complicated story of defacement. It could be fun to guess exactly how this unique example came to be. Maybe stuck in tar pavement and run over for a while?

    Not a good one but the OP has a swell collection of damaged and corroded coins. I am happy to see that he has begun to start his own discussion for his stuff rather than post one of his "treasures" in the middle of a discussion started by another member.

    PS @emeraldATV Your images are excellent! :)

    I imagine you will be the first to start up an album called, "Parking Lot Coins".PCGS would even present you with a "True view " category. Lol😁

    Maybe we can petition PCGS to start a PTSD registry and we can all compete for the worst damaged coins. The OP would be hard to beat

    Wherever it is, I think it’s time to switch gears or pedal down. Not sure which but somethings gotta give. Show us something we can look at without gagging with a spoon.
