So, I've been coin collecting for years but only recently really LOOKING at them, as in for errors. Recently came across this one-- and I have to admit I'm stumped. The '0' looks flattened...it's not scraped at all, looks like a possible error but I can't seem to find it anywhere... I even broke down & bought the cherrypicker's guide!
Anyway have a look tell me what you think.

It's a large date with coin counting/wrapping machine damage to the "0".

That would appear to me to be post mint damage. I would endorse the suggestion that it may be a coin counting machine impact that caused the "0" to be flattened on the one side.

Third vote for counting machine damage.

I'm not "voting" anything...it's definitely counting machine damage, no question about it.

When it is parallel to the rim you can be sure it is coin wrapper damage. Most end coins get damaged this way.

I was afraid of that. I was hoping though, simply because I would have expected to see some scrape marks or some evidence of metal being moved and there isn't any. And because it is flat, doesn't follow the edge of the coin...

Reminds me of a fishing lure I bought once... it was called "Ken's Great Hope"-- underneath was the slogan "Because without hope you have nothing."

Lots of similarities between these two hobbies!
