1940 penny with 2.4 gram weight

If I may ask: Why not add the reverse picture here instead of in another thread? And what's the normal weight? It would be a good idea to add a link to the catalogue.

The wear on this coin is not natural. It was filed in some way and for no obvious reason. Coins do not naturally wear like this.

So, it's post mint damage (PMD) and worth 1 penny (or whatever the melt value is for 2.4g of bronze).

Hoping to get a different answer?

Oh — I think he posted the OP after your reply on the other thread. But of course there was not much to say beyond what you had already said. It's just a worn/damaged coin.

In this condition, it's not worth saving.
