Titles are Important! * Hey everyone, Please see the images below of a 1944 Lincoln Penny I found. Are these simple deformations due to post-minting damage, or are these true mint errors? Thanks!

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75076 Posts	Posted 03/26/2018 8:02 pm This is not a Mint error. It's Post Mint Damage most likely caused by a Coin Wrapping Machine or a vending machine. You can see how the metal is pushed up and got moved over. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
