Quite possibly one of the worst pictures I've seen here in awhile.

 

OP can you tell anything about the photo you just posted?

 

your camera may not be focusing up close.
So go to a well lighted area.
and make sure you phone camera focuses, focuses clearly on the penny. then take an image.

Then you may have to CROP the image to make it larger for us to see.
Please make sure that the image is clear and in focus before posting.

Otherwise, the only thing we can tell is that it "may be a penny"

Thanks

 

Sorry camera sucks im new at this i need help lol

 

Welcome to Cointalk

Unfortunately, nobody is going to be able to give you very much information based on those pictures. We just can't see the coin clearly.

 

Look at the picture before you post. No need to post garbage that nobody can see. @Clawcoins gave some good tips. Any modern digital camera or camera on your phone should be able to take sufficient pictures. Just practice until you figure out what works for you. And don’t waste time posting crap

 

Thank u

 

your second picture is better ... but we also need both sides.

Looks like PMD so far - Post Mint Damage. For instance the bad thing about money is that people use it as money, and for other things. So it gets worn down, damaged, etc over time. It can get stuck in a dryer and worn that way, can get run over by cars and scrapped all up, and Billions of infinite other possibilities.

This penny could have been in circulation for 62 years. Imagine anything else you use for 62 years ... ​

 

A camera is a tool and as with any tool, is most useful in the hands of someone genuinely knowing how to use it. If you've never tried photographing a coin before, my guess is that changing your approach could make all the difference. For starters though, if using a phone or a camera with a touchscreen, try touching the area you want in focus before pressing the shutter release. Also, do what you can to ensure the camera is as steady as possible by placing on stacked books or the like.

 

I have a friend that has a 1956 penny that has the letter i missing in the word liberty. I mean missing not worn, (Missing).

 

Could be damage or a filled die.

 

you may want to start your own thread.
But if you look closely you'll see a wide ridge forming which is swallowing up the flatness near the rim. That's Die Deterioration forming a Ridge Ring taking away detail. The cent is corroding too, I assume it's a zincoln.
