Bezo816 Valued Member United States 131 Posts	Posted 05/10/2018 9:44 pm I hope this is in the right spot...Anyway, I found a 1957 D Wheat penny and the B on Liberty is filled. Is this an error? Or a grease blob? As always, thank you for your time. * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

twistedt Valued Member United States 366 Posts	Posted 05/10/2018 9:55 pm it is caused by the post of the b breaking off - it leaves the bottom filled instead of being normal. it is a common error on these coins Report this Post to the Staff
