1961 error penny 0

[Judd Spence]

I found this penny in my pocket today and I am unsure where I received it at. Immediately I noticed a just speaking Russian on the face of the penny and was wondering if anyone could please explain to me in detail what caused it, and if there's any value. I appreciate your help I look forward to your response

Not quite sure what you are referring to but all I see is worn and corroded Lincoln Cent.

In the future, please crop and rotate your photos, it makes it easier for us to help you.

Not this again.

Wait, what?! Lincoln is speaking Russian?

I see the face of Freddy Krueger above the last digit in the date.

But hey @Just Bob, at least (and thankfully so) the background of this picture did not disturb you and I as the last post of the op did!!! Phewww!! At least I feel safe eating my dinner now as I peruse the forum.

I'm just seeing a heavily corroded, regular old 1961-D Cent.  That sucker's had a bad life.

@Mohawk, This Cent does have some character after closer examination. The purple circled creature appears to be a TRex eating some other type of creature (yellow circle) which is eating a spalling and decayed slab of who knows what (green circle).  Pretty cool I thought.

I agree with everyone. Just worn and damaged cent. Heavily corroded.

That IS a good one, GBrad.  I can see the Rex now.  You can even see his rocking feather mullet!
