Dearborn Moderator United States 99100 Posts	Posted 07/13/2025 7:58 pm looks like a '55 to me with Gumball Machine Damage. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Spence Moderator United States 34455 Posts	Posted 07/13/2025 8:29 pm Yes @dear called it--this is a great example of the damage caused by the gumball mechanism. Sometimes it smeared the last digit of the date, while other times it mangled the first letter of LIBERTY.

bjsturg Valued Member United States 74 Posts	Posted 07/13/2025 8:32 pm I agree with Dearborn on the Gumball Machine error. The coin is in good shape other than the Gbm error. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75443 Posts	Posted 07/13/2025 9:10 pm I agree with Dearborn. Remember, gum ball machine damage isn't an error. It's PMD. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinForMe Pillar of the Community United States 2239 Posts	Posted 07/13/2025 9:31 pm Ok, here's one for you guys that say GBMD, just for thoughts.. If it were a Gumball Machine Damage, why aren't the edges of that cent in worse condition than it shows on the date Edited by CoinForMe 07/13/2025 9:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff
