Chavez Valued Member United States 252 Posts	Posted 08/07/2018 6:57 pm Can't tell if this is a 1942 P or D Wheat penny. I'm seeing a D stamped on the 9. The 42 D (2) in 1942 looks different than 42 of Denver Report this Post to the Staff

Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7516 Posts	Posted 08/07/2018 7:13 pm I can see why you would ask. Your coin is a Philly mint with no MM and the formation you see on the lower part of Nine, although looks like a D, in fact it is a damage the lower part of the Nine has taken a hit and the metal has been displaced in a circular fashion resembling a D.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74875 Posts	Posted 08/07/2018 7:41 pm It's Post Strike Damage (it happened after it left the U.S. Mint), not an error. The 9 took a well placed hit, causing the metal to get pushed over and flattened. It from Philadelphia, not Denver. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
