Vinitel89 New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 11/30/2019 7:00 pm I have 2 wheat pennies that I can't tell if it's just damage to the coin or a mint error. One is a 1950 where the corner of the zero is "rolled" up in half but you can still see where the zero struck the coin. The other is a 1917 and has the edge peeled back into the coin right next to the date. It looks like it was minted this way to me. Thank you guys! I'm learning a lot going through these posts!

I think mostly from old fashioned vending machines like gumball machines.
