Freesouvy New Member United States 47 Posts	Posted 12/23/2016 11:11 pm I would like to have a second opinion on this one as my eyes are a little tired at this point. Please pay special attention to the date and the E in we. And if it is what I think I have no idea of the value. Report this Post to the Staff

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 12/23/2016 11:18 pm The one was probably pushed inward by a feeder finger. Not that common, but doesn't add much value, if any. Not sure about the E you should try to crop away some of the blank area above and below the coin. The CCF Image Optimizer works well for that. Report this Post to the Staff

cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 12/23/2016 11:26 pm The one was pushed, but not by a feeder finger. Feeder fingers are what move the planchets into position to be struck by the dies. This damage happened after the strike, most likely in a vending machine like the old penny gumball machines we used to see in stores. Edited by cwb 12/23/2016 11:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 12/24/2016 04:36 am That's a normal WE. The E is low on that year and the W looks slightly damaged from circulation. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Coinerd New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 07/29/2019 9:50 pm Hi, I found your post while researching a 1961 d penny with a very similar looking date. Do you guys think similar circumstances caused the slanted one in this case as well? Report this Post to the Staff
