I am a cashier, and I am new to this forum. Been collecting coins for about 4 years now. I recently came across this 1958 D Wheat penny, and I think it's an error coin. I will upload some photos. If you look at The "T" in LIBERTY, it looks like an "I" can someone give me some info on this?  |

 This can be cause by a slight amount of grease in the die on the "T" or by coin contact pushing the device to the right. A better shot of that area might be helpful. But it looks like the up right is leaning to the right? If so it may be PSD. (Post Strike Damage) |

Yeah, it looks like it's leaning, but if the center side of the T-bar got knocked off it must have happened some time ago. Better close-up photos would help.
That said, how about a closer shot of the date: is the top of the "8" filled with metal or is it the verdigris?

The first image rotated 90 degrees helped me to see it better.  I added your image to my educational files. |

Not really. Just damage. But it is a Wheat cent. I save all of them anyway. But no premium for this. |

Never worry, we will will always try to get posts to the right place for the most help. There is nothing more to do on your part. |

This Filled number 8 in the date could be that the die chipped and the area inside is filled. This in not uncommon on top part of the 8 in 1958 and the 9 also.  Edited by OcalaFlorida

to the community! Even though the coin is damaged, a wheatie is always a nice circulation find. |
