I'm curious what happened to this penny? And thank you.

[Mr.Bill347]

Parking lot happened to it!

Damage. Hope you did not think it was special or a "mint error."

[Oldhoopster]

The copper plating was abraded/worn away over much of the coin, and the exposed zinc is corroding.  This happened after it left the mint and is considered damage.

Damaged, looks like someone may have used some type of tool, belt sander maybe, in an attempt to create an error to sell somewhere like etsy or insta.   Not a true mint error and as hoop noted now that the coper plating has been removed the zinc core is eroding to dust.

Thank goodness that joker wasn't a CAM, Phew.....!!!!!  I "think" the A in STATES is centered (surely it's not favoring the right side T is it?) because you sure can't tell much by the way AM is damaged and the proximity of FG is hard to tell for me as well with the building corner damaged as it is.

100% correct JP. That coin is beyond damaged and it would not matter even if it was a CAM. I just have this dream, pretty much more like a nightmare, every now and then about finding a fairly valuable coin and it looking like this one (the true side effects of being an error and variety collector). Bottom line here is this: It does not matter. Thanks for the comment my friend.

Looks like lengthy beach exposure to me.

Is this 1964 penny with the L on the edge worth third party grading and encapsulation?

No. It's damaged and cleaned. You'll be spending approx $60 on grading and shipping fees for a coin that's worth face value
