marigold1111 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 05/09/2024 6:34 pm Hi all, Here's a 1964 penny with a slightly flattened 9 and 6. Is that just environmental damage or something else? Thank you! Edited by marigold1111 05/09/2024 6:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10051 Posts	Posted 05/09/2024 10:42 pm When people see a crack in a car's windshield, they don't automatically think the car came off of the assembly line that way. Until ebay shyster auctions and clickbait online videos were as ridiculously common as they are, most people didn't let excitement over possibly hitting a jackpot (not saying you specifically are) interfere with seeing coins the same was as they would the windshield mentioned above. Now it seems everyone is more sensitive to automatically thinking "Error coin!" instead of "damaged coin." So we get a LOT of people asking this kind of thing daily. The reality is almost every odd looking coin is going to be PMD or something inconsequential to the coin hobby. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
