Truwu New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 07/30/2018 7:31 pm I found this going through some of my father's old coins.Clearly something unusual about the 1 in the 1949 could not find any info. Is this after mint damage? And if so what causes this. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74781 Posts	Posted 07/30/2018 7:49 pm To CCF! What happened to the number "1" here is it took a well placed hit, causing the metal to get pushed over and flattened. It's Post Strike Damage (it happened after it left the U.S. Mint). It's not an error, but damage unfortunately. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
