Krause1705 Valued Member United States 57 Posts	Posted 11/14/2015 6:28 pm Hard to tell, but it kind of looks like this penny took a hit. But it also looks like its an error because the letters are not distorted but are moved down slightly.. Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

It was most likely thrown at a hard surface very violently. Edited by cwb 11/14/2015 8:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/15/2015 03:44 am This can only happen after the coin was struck. The coin was probably dropped or thrown down on cement. You can see where the rim is bulging outward from this event in the coins life. The WE is not in the shape that the coin was struck with. Congratulations, you now have two images on my educational files. Edited by coop 11/15/2015 1:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff
