    1980 no mint mark Lincoln penny

    I came across this coin while coin hunting and have found others similar. When trying to research what might have caused it, the term used was "catastrophic die damage - Severe impact damage that covers an extensive area on one or both die faces" (http://www.error-ref.com/catastrophic-die-failure-damage/).

    Let me know what you think. If you know of any other resources to learn about errors, fee free to share!
