MFPOE New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 12/09/2015 4:12 pm I found this 1939 Wheat penny. On the Face side is a hole that does Not go all the way through. It also has a perfect circle around it? On the Reverse Side there is extra metal. It almost looks like a larger letter or just misplaced metal glob. But it is Exactly where the hole is on the other side. Is this an Error? The extra metal does not look "pushed out from the hole, actually the opposite . And there is no other damage, no bending of the coin like if it were by a nail or something. It also does not look drilled? I used my loop but see no signs of drilling. Any opinions? Sorry , I'll try to get better Photos. Thanks MFPoe Report this Post to the Staff
