Mzeek17 Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 11/03/2021 11:56 am Found this weird messed up Wheat penny today, looks like it was struck multiple times and in odd spots. Has lettering on the side, some odd splotches that look like a War Nickel P on obverse... behind one wheat leaf there is and S started that looks like it was punched over, and even the damaged part of the coin looks like a separate strike of something else... anyone ever see or hear of anything like this? The lettering is definitely punched onto the coin, and it's not ALL cross transfer. Something was definitely not right with this before it left the mint. Idea's? My guess is that the multiple strikebhitbthe side and cracked the planchet for starters, the 5, P, and whatever else extra was probably from a different strike as well, and looks like it was hit with a War Nickel imprint. . Idk what else would make a P that big.. the date also looks like it says 194 D backwards.. Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21647 Posts	Posted 11/03/2021 12:04 pm Not multiple strikes, just PMD. There is nothing there that can be attributed to an error during the striking of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
