I am very new to coin collecting but when I came across this is had me intrigued. Can anyone explain why the "IN" seems to be half missing or pushed up? Thanks!

Got hit, probably by the rims of another coin. Sorry, not an error.

Roller machine damage. Most industrial rolling machines roll up the ends of both rolls so that no coins can fall out. They don't care two flips about the coins on the ends, so those coins are usually damaged just like this coin.

Yes, copper is a softer metal and the letters and numbers can be moved by anything hitting them.

Keep it as a learning tool. If you find anymore that looks like it you can compare the new find to this coin.
