This may be PMD but I decided to post it because I could not find any marks near it and it seemed strange that something would scrunch the 4 without a cut and leave the "4" completely intact on the surface.

I am not sure if you can see it clearly in my photos but the "4" on the surface has sharp angles and is pristine; the other "4" is jacked.

I've seen these type of cents before and even have a 1970 with the "0" pushed like that. They are most likely caused from the coin rolling machines crimping fingers pushing the last digit towards the left.

Makes sense to me, thanks for the quick, concise answer.

Happy New Year!

Metal displacement always seems hard to see in hand, and easier to see in a photo.

Could just be an odd circulation hit, pushing the metal askew.

It is parallel to the rim. So probably a vending machine or counting machine damaged the coin. So it is PSD.
