I am trying to learn to tell the difference between strike errors and post error. I am not really sure how you can tell this is a post error. I will study it closer to try to understand. Thank you for your reply.

This is an example of a 1956 that I am sure it is a post strike error. This example I think is very obvious.

Thank you for the link. It appears that post errors usually happen on the last number of the date in these pennies. I am learning! Thank you!!

It's not an error, it's Post Mint Damage ( PMD). Mechanical damage caused this. I agree with ijn1944.
Errers and Varietys.

I came across this 1984 penny while going thru all of the pennies my father had. I know this is probably PMD. I am curious as to how this PMD is made? I can't imagine a Gumball Machine doing this. I also weighed it, and it weighs 2.51 which is a little off from the 2.5. Could this be a counterfeit attempt at making a mint error coin?

That last 1984 cent looks like it might be a legitimate off center strike.

So, it is a real mint error? I am amazed that I might have actually found one! Thank you for your reply!

One coin per thread please. The 1984 is an off center strike. Check ebay sold values for an idea on value. John1
