2014 penny with Defects?

[Allena]

Got this penny as change and it has some interesting marking. The inner rings Front and Back in places are Double. They Actually run through the Top of the letters on the back. Touching L on Front. Also the C and A appear to Touch on America.

Looks like it was struck from a die that was beginning to fail. Dies deteriorate and coins struck late in the die's life will show the wear and tear.

It seems there is a lot more defects in newer coins,than the older ones.Are they slacking off on quality control.

Clicking on pics shows better detail of errors. Last night I noticed the S on States ( back) looks Smaller because its cut off by inner line. Dont know if its worth anything, but hust as well save it.

It is simply a coin struck on extremely worn dies. It's only worth face.
