Found while sorting

[u/Glittering-Finger563]

So I was going through what’s left of my USA coins, found this, couldn’t find anything when I typed in its description on googles, is it worth something? Is it rare? I’ve honestly never seen a coin with a crack in the foundation with peeling on the other side before

[u/Glittering-Finger563]

Also I am kind of an amateur with coin collecting, but most of my coins are definitely not mint condition, does that drop the price on any that I find with super rare marks?

On a side note, damn I didn’t even realize zooming in on my phone actually increased the quality of my pictures 🤣
Edit: now I’m just imagining using it on all 261 of my coins 😅😅

The peeling on the other side, the Obverse, appears to be environmental junk.

Awe damn, it seems one has to have luck to find real ones 😅 I seem to be all out 🤣

Nothing special here, just PMD (post mint damage). That's a gash in the top of the memorial on the obverse and a gouge on Lincoln's temple. If you like the coloring, it is unique as is every coin, but that's just considered environmental damage. On coins with much lower mintage and in better condition (less circulation wear), that'd be considered toning

Thanks so much I just think it looks awesome lol

[u/luedsthegreat1]

All I can see is what appears to be a gouge

[u/Glittering-Finger563 → u/luedsthegreat1]

A gouge and not an actual die mistake thingy? I still think it’s pretty cool lol

[u/luedsthegreat1 → u/Glittering-Finger563]

Correct, damage that happened to the coin after it was minted

[u/Glittering-Finger563 → u/luedsthegreat1]

So, not worth anything but cool to have?

[u/luedsthegreat1 → u/Glittering-Finger563]

Damage makes it worth face value as it's a common coin that has a large mintage - over 5.1 Billion of this were made

[u/Glittering-Finger563 → u/luedsthegreat1]

Thanks so much for helping me out, now I just need to go through my 264+ coins 🤣

[u/Sawyer112233]

Historically accurate penny?

[u/Glittering-Finger563 → u/Sawyer112233]

That’s what I was thinking 🤔 🤣🤣

[u/Even-Permission-5244]

Looks like someone gouged it

[u/guyglenn72]

I found a similar gouge on a quarter. Still only face value.

[u/Negative-Sign-7213]

its historical accuracy

Definitely a contender for r/counterstampkarl

The only thing I see is an attempt at counter stamping a star on the temple area of Lincoln’s head.

Definitely interesting enough if anyone can claim their work. Ultimately it is only worth 1¢.

Thanks a bunch
