CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 01/11/2019 03:07 am I'm seeing lots of PSD (post strike damage). no mint errors. Notice how the metal was pushed up? This was caused by a scrape or gouge to the coin. The top of the "2" is just a large gouge/hole shaped hit. All coincidental damage. Hope I helped! This is one of my few attempts at an educational image. (Posted below) Happy hunting! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 01/11/2019 03:08 am Sorry, but it is just damage that "appears" to form something recognizable. The D looks fine to me. to CCF! Edit: CH27 beat me to it. Nice visual.

Second, I agree with the others that your cent has damage which is vaguely in the shape of a number 2. This coin is a spender.
