misstrike error coin found

[tymcmurray]

This is a cool error.
You can read some of the words, but not well.
I thought that maybe somebody ground the front, but the finish is
very even and smooth and the planchet front edge is intact.
Anybody ever seen anything like this?

It looks like a brockage strike. Another penny got in between the obverse die and the blank coin face. Sometimes this happens when a finished coin fails to get ejected and sticks to the die. Cool find.

I agree, does look like a brockage. Very nice error find.

is it copper or zinc? if its zinc its worth anywhere around $38, but if its copper its worth around $25. awsome find!

I have a 192's Wheat Penny that is like that but the front of the coin is missing a very large chunk.
