Yes, your Lincoln Cent has something going on with the date, almost looks fake, but a very clear close-up pic will be needed to tell what happened there. It is not an error concerning the date and without a doubt something that happened after it left the mint. Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 10/17/2021 11:59 pm I agree with the Frog, from circulation, your coin has taken a blow, pushing metal and damaging the number 4. As Bumpkin said, a clearer close-up would be most helpful. This is definitely post mint damage. to the CCF! Edited by merclover 10/17/2021 11:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff
