Jonwaterman New Member Canada 6 Posts	Posted 09/06/2014 11:15 pm I have a 1967 penny but the error is that on the side which is usually embossed with the date only the first three numbers of the year are legible. That's the error but the strange thing is that the year 1967 is struck into the other side of the coin in very large don't. Does anyone know anything about this type of error? Thanks!!

Jonwaterman New Member Canada 6 Posts	Posted 09/07/2014 6:32 pm It is odd.. Now that you mention it the last number in the date is pretty unintelligible but it is more like a 4 than a 7.. You think it's possible that the number was sanded off and stamped by someone other than the mint? Report this Post to the Staff
o-train Pillar of the Community Canada 519 Posts	Posted 09/07/2014 8:58 pm I think the deep counterstamp on the obverse is what has obscured the detail on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 09/07/2014 9:03 pm to CCF Its a 1964 penny that someone counter stamped 1967 on the obverse..its not a 1967 in any way. Report this Post to the Staff
middross Pillar of the Community Canada 695 Posts	Posted 09/07/2014 10:39 pm ^ why do you say that it is a 1964? Definitely not later than 1964, but the last digit looks to be rounded at the top. I would guess either a 1960, 1962 or 1963. Report this Post to the Staff
