1941 Lincoln Cent Slanted 1

Hey Y'all! This is my first post after the initial "Where are you from" forum. Thanks again for having me.

I looked over the the posts from the past and saw some things about my topic, and I thought they were very informative. I have a 1941 Lincoln Cent Slanted "1". The 1 looks very much like the diagonal font part of a number seven. There doesn't seem to be a lot about this type of "error" online, most of the information I've found has been from this forum. I have looked at this coin repeatedly over the years, and it still puzzles me. Al though there are some rim nicks around the entire coin, I haven't seen tool marks or abrasions around the date.

The last post on this topic were from 2 years ago, I believe. Does anyone have anything new to add regarding this coin? I'll try to post a photo if I can get the dinosaur scanner to work properly.

I have collected and bought and sold for years. I do sell coins on my wife's ebay jewelry storefront (she just opened it, getting her positive feedback via coin sales) but I will not list it at this time; I read the rules and want to become firmly entrenched before doing that.

I'll re-post to this thread with a pic of the coin in question as soon as I can get the darn technology-thing to work right.

Thanks for having me - thanks for the help.

My scanner is atrocious, I had to really lighten the scan on the obverse.

If anyone has any tips regarding camera settings to get a good pic of this coin, I am happy to have them. We have a 10mp camera, but still have problems getting details on cents. Thanks again!
