:o Proper Titles Are Important, so I had to fix yours for you by adding the denomination and short description of your question.! :D
Titles are indexed on the forum so others can find/research when they have a similar coin.
:character-cookiemonster: Titles must include date, type of coin and a specific small description of your question. [/u]

Re: 1960 coin error
Welcome to the community.
This is not a error coin , post mint damaged.
Strong hit on 0 suffered in circulation, relocating metal.
No additional value above face value, spender.

Re: 1960 coin error
Hello and welcome!
Agree 100 %. No additional value above monetary. Post mint damage coins are conversational pieces at best.

Re: 1960 penny - 0 in date looks odd.
1. I agree - just took a hit and the metal was moved from the rest of the 0 to where it is now. This is not uncommon, we see it frequently on the forum, and it is not a collectable coin error since it is just damage.
2. Most odd looking coins are just damaged.
When you want to find an okapi, you have to know what one looks like. When you want an error coin, you also need to find out what one looks like:
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 or useless machine doubling, die deterioration, etc.
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.
