Hello All,
I have here a 1945 Canadian Penny and since I am fairly new to coin collecting, was wondering if this penny presented is the result of post mint error, or human damage vs a minting issue.
The "A" on the backside seems to have some errors as well.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

@Kasmit002 - - Your 1945 cent is showing circulation and more damage, not an error. A lot of Post Mint Damage.

To the CCF

There is nothing on that cent that can't be attributed to damage.
Not an error in any way.

The backside as you call it is actually called "the reverse side".
The other is called obverse.

Yes, it looks like Geo took a huge blow to the head, after exiting someone's pocket long before.
