1995 penny ticker Rim 0

[Vero86]

I bought this coin yesterday at a coin shop, not much $1.50, was in a side tar, I know maybe does not worth much, but it was strange, can you please see it and tell me why is the Rim too thick, I place a normal coin to compare and small letters in one if the sides if I'm not wrong.

Dryer or spooned coin from the photos, value $.01

The dryer also causes the small letters? If the coin gets stuck on it?

They are always that size.  They are the designer's initials.

I think you paid $1.49 too much for a damaged coin.

The initials are the right size.

If I spotted a coin shop selling damaged Lincoln cents for$1.50, I would never darken the doors of that establishment again.

How does the diameter compare to another cent?  It is most likely a little smaller, another indication that the rim has been tampered with.

Agreed.  You paid 150 times what that coin is worth.  I would never do business with whoever sold you that again.

Those letter on the shoulder of Lincoln are always there on modern cents and always that size, if this is a dryer coin the tumbling of the dryer flattens the rim.
