I found this strange 1978 D cent. I've looked at different examples of errors and I can't find anything similar. Maybe it's the only know example and itss worth a million bucks! HA Its has three rectangular indents all spaced an equal distant apart. The outer two are on the edges. The obverse and reverse are identical.

I know this should probably be posted on a different forum, but I don't feel like making an account. Thanks and HH!

If those are pressed ineward its not an error, if its pressed outward on both sides could be..

Someone squeezed than penny with some pliers or something. Nothing in the mint could do that.

I have seen tone of coins like that.

It might be a lamination. But highly doubtful.
