Sexy Saenz New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 08/04/2019 02:49 am I have a 1934 Wheat penny and on the back of the penny right under ONE CENT, it says UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, but STATES has a 7 instead of a T so it's stamped like S7ATES. Is this a normal error? Report this Post to the Staff

Second, when I enlarge and enhance this area of your picture, the image becomes pixelated, but I agree that the letter T was changed into a number 7 by a well-placed hit. You can see damage to some of the other letters too.

hole_in_pocket Valued Member United States 194 Posts	Posted 08/04/2019 11:14 am there is a possibility that somewhere someone attempted to alter the coin. it is pretty precise. No way to know though. it is PMD. Report this Post to the Staff
Panther Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 08/04/2019 11:39 am Keep in mind when looking at potential error coins, the dies do not use interchangeable letters. The devices on coins are permanently engraved into the die. So if you think a coin has an error, keep that thought in mind. The striking of a coin with incorrect lettering can not happen unless it was engraved that way. Which in my opinion is virtually impossible. Dan Report this Post to the Staff
