Another strange looking penny

I'm not sure about this one. Pat

Well I can't be sure but I know it looks to be an off-center strike. But it also looks to have alot of post-mint damage. I don't think that the off-centers carry as much premium over others.

I don't think it's off center.

 

It looks like it's been flattened, which gives it the look of an off-center coin. Maybe run over by a train?

Yea you could be right there too Chad!

I wouldn’t be to sure about that one either Pat…what is written on the 2X2 holder?

 

Looks like some post mint damage, that type of elongation is not a characteristic of a mint struck coin.

Who beat up that poor thing? I see no error just a lot of abuse.

It really looks like a mule coin to me. Becaus of the doubling of the legend on the reverse. Maybe not.

[Golden Oldie]

I don't know what a mule coin is. I'm going to take it out of the 2x2 and post new photos of it.

I do know what a mule is. It's a coin struck from two dies that aren't intended to be used together such as the famous mule that had Sac dollar reverse paired with the Washington head from a state quarter. Well on the subject coin here I see and the obvers of a Lincoln cent that is supposed to be paired with a Lincoln Memorial reverse and that is what it has. This is no mule.
