D-Train Valued Member United States 56 Posts	Posted 06/16/2017 10:56 pm So I bought 20 rolls of wheat pennies from my brother and I was going through them inventorying what I got, and I came across this penny. Someone on another forum suggests it was a "!" that was struck with something causing it to move. What do you guys think? Edited by D-Train 06/16/2017 10:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 06/17/2017 09:16 am There are in reality 1941 slanted 1's caused by the mint . I believe this is one of them with a hit to the bottom of the 1 . Report this Post to the Staff
