I was just going through a couple of rolls of wheaties I got from e-bay, and I found what at first glance appears to be a 25, but if you look under a magnifier it looks like a perfect upside-down seven over some other number. Has anyone seen this?

damage specific to the coin, which is why it isn't listed anywhere. It's a 1925 for sure.

Can you post a larger version of the close up ?

I do not see this as damage,, and would really appreciate a larger view .

Coppercoins, are you thinking it is random damage or a attempt to fake an error?

I didn't really think one way or the other, but there's not really anything worth faking a 1925 Philly cent over. Change it to 1915 or 1945 and you still have a coin worth less than a quarter. No real point served.

I have a 1914S changed into a 1911S...can't win for losing sometimes. 1914S is actually more valuable than 1911S now. Didn't used to be.
