1-euro coin: misprint or just worn?
Hello dear community,
This 1-euro coin landed in my wallet today and my fingers immediately caught on it because the pill can be turned and also "wobbles" when I shake the coin.
Additionally, the embossing on the back seems incomplete to me—the year and designer are missing, and the figure's face is unrecognizable. However, all of this could also be due to the poor condition/heavy wear.
What do you think? Is it worth more than a euro, or can I safely leave it at the bakery? 😀
Best regards & thank you!

Hello Splitti,
this normal circulation coin, has strong traces of use and damage.
No imprint and only the nominal value.
Misprints must be said:
coining course coins is a mass production,
Time is money, there is not great respect for quality, here is mass.
It is simply impossible that the embossing of millions of coins of a value unit, all 100% equal. Therefore, certain tolerance values are established. Since the tools also change/abuse during embossing.
If the tolerance values are significantly exceeded (which are defined), incorrect imprints can occur.
Faulty embossments arise due to errors in the coin image and only, either before or during the embossing process. As a rule, such coins are recognized and sorted out in the embossing institution. But some coins can get into circulation.
All damages or traces of use are not considered to be embossed.
manipulations of the coin are under penalty and the coin is worthless. However, caution is also necessary here, because a lot of manipulated is also required.
The following are considered:
Use of outdated stamps, embossing on false rounds, die rotation, double embossing, fence end, embossing weakness, decentring, double sink, light-wheel embossing, punch cracks, punch breaks, mirror embossing.
The alleged misprints in the portals with fantasies prices can be forgotten. Those who enter such offers must not complain if he finds: I have been pulled over the table.

It’s just badly damaged.
Thank you.
The coin’s got a big deal.
That’s where the teeth… uh… the pill won’t be reliable.
So the coin is really brutally sniffed and would no longer be able to gain value even in the event of a misprint.
Just worn, nothing else.
Wasted and dirty.
Just badly damaged.
