Hello everyone, can anyone help me with this coin? Is this a error or what? Does it have a value? It looks like reversed small digit "3" or half of 8. I cant find any other coins like that, tried with google and ebay.  |

Where are you looking at? I keep looking at the coin, but all I see is a Wheat cent that took some hits during circulation. |

If you are talking about the 1 in the date, it just looks like it took a hit from something, which damaged it to make it look like a 3 or a B. Keep it because it's a wheatie, but otherwise, no additional value.

Thanks for your anwsers. It doesn't look like damaged "1", but its quite strange for an error too. When I will get this coin on my hands ill make a good photos of a date and upload it.

@ammcollect, first welcome to CCF. Second, I agree with the others that the numeral 1 has taken at least one hit which has changed its shape. Certainly, an interesting coin for your collection even though it isn't a mint error. Thanks for sharing!

 with others it most definitely is PMD but cool looking. Ive seen the letters and numbers do some crazy stuff from taking hits and lots of times the evidence of the hit will be gone from years of circulation, hence why people often swear it isn't damage. And if it was a dropped letter it would be incuse on the coin. Edited by Slamnbass
