Found this penny in a jug of pennies. I'm Fairly new to coin error hunting, and just wanting some input on what this might be or have you seen anything like this before. Thanks for your help and your time.

It looks like a tad off center but I'm not sure why the edge is jagged . Awaiting more answers on that .

It's imperative that EVERYONE include cropped full coin images both the obverse and reverse in their posts!

I see rim issues but not sure if this is off center or damaged.

ckeel for future reference, please under stand this is not criticism. It is the way that coins should be posted
Please be advised that the RULE for posting coins is ONE coin per-topic. DO NOT post a coin to be compared to, as those who are giving you their opinion know what the coin should or should not look like.

When posting photos of a coin you would like someone to look at, you NEED to post a Cropped photo of both the the full Obverse and Reverse. Try to take these photos as clear and close as possible. Next take some photos of the area in question, again as close and clear as possible. It would also help if you could find some way to point to the area in question or give a detailed explanation of what you want to be looked at. DO NOT just say "What Error is this?", "What do you think about this coin and what is the value?" or "What can you tell me about this coin?". We would happily provide you with sites you can research coin errors and varieties.

If you need a photo editing program, there are three free ones that come to mind. They are PhotoScape, Inkscape and Gimp. Of the three PhotoScape is the easiest to use. I use PhotoScape and it will do everything required to post photos on the board. Daniel explains quite well in the following two topics, POSTING PHOTOS plus his video on this same topic Daniels posting Coins Video on posting coins

Yes. I have seen many 1960 D cents before.

OK...I KNOW that's not really what you wanted 😊

However, please understand we need to know specifically what it is you think you are seeing on any coin you post. Since you are new to all of this, what you see as a possible error may be something we typically know as common (like damage) and so we would automatically overlook it.

Also...since you are new... here is some BIG help:
Save Yourself time, effort, and disappointment...don’t learn the coin hobby backwards. 😊

Looking for random anomalies on coins and hoping they match up to something collectable will take you a lot more time, wasted effort, and disappointment repeatedly finding out you have nothing but post mint damage.

Spend some initial time at places like error-ref.com, doubleddie.com, varietyvista.com, conecaonline.org, coppercoins.com etc. to find what actual and collectable coin errors look like.

A good way to start is, for instance, separate a bunch of pennies by date. Go to varietyvista.com and, date by date, use the reference there to see what errors are known for that specific coin/mint mark. Look for those specific errors/varieties using the pictures provided. After doing this for awhile you will KNOW what an actual error looks like and not have to waste time on face value and damaged coins.

😊
