    I agree, damage from the crimping machine when sealing the package.
    It must have been too close to the edge when being sealed.

    Going by the video, that is a Philadelphia Mint cent. There is no sign of a genuine D MM

    Except for some damage and Grease Filled on the reverse, it looks genuine to me. 
    That is the large lettering variety.

    This Forum is for buying and selling coins, have asked a mod to move to the proper forum.
    As far as your Cent goes, it has a little value over face. Floating roofs are quite common and can occur on any year Lincoln Memorial cent, in fact they are not even recognized by the major grading companies anymore  Keep it as an example if you like though.

    Welcome to the Forum.
    If a coin is damaged, it doesn't really matter how and you may never know how unless you were there at the time. Damage is damage.
    Most times damage makes a coin a cull coin  and is a spender.

    Agree that it is Machine Doubling (aka strike doubling) a worthless type of doubling.
    In the future, please reduce the magnification on your photos, bigger isn’t always better.
    Anything you can’t see at 10X is irrelevant anyways.

    2.99g is within spec for a Lincoln copper coin. 
    You can’t tell the composition by the colour as copper can change to many colours, depending on what is has been exposed to. Certainly not worth spending $50-60.00 getting graded when it is only worth a couple of cents.

    Could also be Die Deterioration Doubling as everything is running towards the rim.
    Doesn't really matter though as both are a worthless type of Doubling.

    Greenstang got a reaction from Hoghead515 in do many wheat pennies have LBY on Lincolns chest?   
    The “L” in LIBERTY is close to the rim on all Lincoln’s up to 1969 when  the master die was reworked and moved away from the rim. It doesn’t take much wear for it to be almost touching. I don’t know why people selling on eBay or YouTube think this is an error when it is common.

    Welcome to the Forum
    Always show both sides of the coin when posting along with the weight to two decimal points.
    The weight can tell you if it is silver or not but as bssHog40 stated, what makes you think it is silver.
