funny looking penny

[blurr]

Does the date on this penny look wierd? It doen't appear altered, but just kind of looks goofy. especially the 0 in 1960. Saw it in the penny tray at the gas station.

it looks like a 60-D Large Date

there were both small & Large dates minted that year.

It also looks like possably a Die Break to me, But I'm not up on errors.

it could just be damage.

Hopefully someone here can help.

Definetly looks like a die break in the zero to me, not damage......As my 5 year old daughter would say...."nice eye-spying"...

Hi All,
Sorry, it's just damage as evidenced by the entire obverse of the coin.
