marapaul New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 01/20/2018 12:41 am Hi members, I have a 1949 Wheat penny with some errors. On the back of the penny there is a hole near the T, also on the right side of the wheat leave there is an error on the top and bottom. Please review and respond with some information in reference to this Wheat penny. Thank you. Mara * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

marapaul New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 01/20/2018 01:07 am Hello, Thank you for moving my post. Here is the obverse for the 1949 Wheat penny. Next time I will try to crop my pictures, I just started to learn how to download the pictures. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff
Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 01/20/2018 01:13 am Looks like someone took a punch and made that hole on the reverse. You can see where that caused a slight bump on the obverse at Lincoln's chin. The other marks look like damage while in circulation. Report this Post to the Staff
