That is actually a common occurrence. We see pictures of coins with this type of damage quite often.

Did you not start one thread on this medal already?

It is a medal made by a private company, not by the US government. It's value is minimal - probably 2 or 3 dollars.

Thanks for your response. Yes i  did post this thread earlier,and apologize for repeating this thread by mistake.  I wanted to delete this  thread...but i am unable to do it...still working on it

I notice that parts of L, 1 and 9 are also chopped off. Lots of deep hits to the portrait. How do you run across a 1944 US cent in India? I'm imagining it may have traveled there during WWII.

Hi Kbbpll, Thanks for your comment. I'm not sure how it came over here. It could be possible as you said "during wwII " or maybe through some collector. I bought a set of 21 coins of 1944/42/45/41 and one 1958 in extra fine condition at an exorbitant price

Not an error, just damage. Looks like the date has taken a hit.  In that condition it may be worth a couple of cents.

Thank you

Yep. Looks like that coin experienced a couple of rough impacts. Since high quality examples are very inexpensive, damaged and worn examples are worth either US$0.01 or their copper value, whichever is greater.

Thanks

Dunlearnin, please don't confuse legitimate posters genuinely looking for information with your nonsense.  The coin has been properly identified as damaged.

Thank you

"Hello, I'm a coin collector  from India. Please could anyone tell me whether my Lincoln penny of 1944 has an error on the date or is it just a damage.  Also the first 4 on the date is somewhat ..like a double impression.  What would be the coins worth?"

Hydnumis - Your 1944 Lincoln cent is damaged and worth approximately 2-cents in bronze. Sending it to NGC, PCGS or any other certification and grading company is a total waste of time and money.

PS: Most members here will be happy to answer your questions as directly and honestly as possible.

Thank you RWB, and all members on NGC board for your time and valuable opinions and comments.  However, the date of this coin still keeps me wondering how could the "4" chip off partly with such precision and leave the base which could still be read as "4".  any reviews on this please?

Dear all, Hello I'm a coin collector from India.  I am having this  big Nickel token/Medal of former US President Theodore Roosevelt.  The legend has a spelling mistake and the miss-spelled name has a double-die error. Please let me know your expert opinion on its authenticity, and whether it has any good value. Thank you

Hello all, hope all are well, and staying safe. wish you all best of health and happiness.  I am Hyder  from India. I  came across this link and couldn't help but join the thread.  last week, I too bought an  identical token which is made of brass.  The only difference being,  that it has 2 sails, has a male portrait with the typical pout  and on the split legend it is written Gold on the left and Cowen on the right. I think it was a spelling mistake  for "Coin".  In all fairness, i think this token was made by some  Con-Artist to pass it off  as gold to gullible customers.
