Mizjb1 New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 12/26/2017 8:59 pm I found this 1943 steel Wheat penny no mint mark after putting it under the microscope I believe this is a double die and error coin trying to find out more information on it. On the Obverse side it looks like a dj playing on the turntable in the 9 lol. On the reverse side I noticed a 2 stamped on the rim. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by Mizjb1 12/26/2017 9:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Cleatis87 Valued Member United States 125 Posts	Posted 12/26/2017 9:03 pm Looks like PMD (post mint damage), meaning the coin was damaged after it left the mint, making what you see add no collector's value. Report this Post to the Staff

Mizjb1 New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 12/26/2017 9:33 pm it must have hit a 2 on the way out the mint. I suggest you take a closer look at the 9 because it is a double. matter of fact it looks like it was a 4 before it was a 9. Report this Post to the Staff
Slamnbass Pillar of the Community United States 3644 Posts	Posted 12/26/2017 9:43 pm Pretty funny on the 9 actually I think it looks more like somebody playing the old school PAC MAN video game-but unfortunately they are correct this is all PMD and welcome to the forum!

Sorry, but the explanation that this is simply damage that looks a little like a four (or a two in the case of the damage on the rev rim) is much more likely then this being a mint error.

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 12/26/2017 10:58 pm with the above comments. It is simply damage. When looking at the process of minting coins, there is no explanation for how there could have been a 4 under the 9 in the date, sorry.
