Hi guys,mnemonic
This site is so much fun! I just read John1'S 14 year hunt and got educated on CAM/WAM. I was wondering if someone could tell me what caused the hole in this penny?
Thanks!

Also, the T seems kind of far off?
Your thoughts are appreciated!

The hole is PMD, something was pressed into the coin. The "T" in question must be the last "T" in "TRUST". It does look a little wide but I can't say why.

Maybe it's a WST... Wide ST.

I think he may be talking about the T in LIBERTY which looks like the upright has been pushed a little to the right so it appears to meet the top bar to the right of center.

Thanks for all the tips, I originally only noticed the hole. Looking at the enlarged photo, the S T caught my attention. Even the E in We seems low...but comparing it to the links you shared, that looks pretty normal too. I think its really neat you all help and share what you know. I think I'm gonna buy a nice light and magnifying glass, the tips I'm getting are just making me want to learn more. In the future I'll be more specific with my questions too.
Thanks everyone!

Coop: I suspected that was the case but did not have a '29 handy to compare it to.

Is the reverse pushed out on the area opposite the punch in the date? That is what I found on another coin once.

coop,
I'm posting obverse and reverse photos. It does seem to be pushed through.
Thanks
