: I received a 1968 Lincoln penny that is missing the "tails" side of the coin. Also, that side of the coin is missing the raised rim. The heads side looks perfectly normal. I've seen many references to type one and two blanchets but none like what I have. Any ideas as to approximate value?

1/2 cent since someone with a file and too much time on their hands has removed half the metal.

You can't clap with one hand and you can't strike a coin on just one side.
