Bassmaster Pillar of the Community United States 1130 Posts	Posted 04/27/2013 08:16 am I have a few questions about Wheat penny errors. I found a what penny that looks like it has half of the bottom of the 2 chopped off. What could this be? Also, I found a 1941 that looked like it had the 1 slightly slanted, and another one that looked like it had a slanted I in liberty. What is this? Also, how common are 1957 D fill errors. I rolled some before I knew about the fill errors in liberty, and I went back through and found about 5-10 fill errors, most with the b in liberty, but some were some numbers. Any help will be appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/27/2013 10:00 am Part of the date could be coin damage or a Struck Through Grease. A slanted digit might be caused by a coin wrapper. Usually these digits are parallel to the rim. On the LIBERTY, I guessing you are referring to a broken post off a B. They can occur on different years. Date is not a necessity, but the dies in the 50's were over used and thus you see heavy die wear and deterioration during these years. Hope this helps. Report this Post to the Staff
Bassmaster Pillar of the Community United States 1130 Posts	Posted 04/27/2013 11:57 am So you guys think the slanted letters and things are PMD? I thought they probably were too, I just wanted to make sure. How much do you think a fill error is worth in the 50s? Report this Post to the Staff
