laciedanee New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 07/06/2020 4:38 pm Hi, I'm very new to coin collecting, so I have had coins with errors go right passed me and some that seem to be something turn into nothing. This one in particular I can't find anything on so I'm not sure if I have a great find or just another coin. On the word "in" the I seems to merge or slant into the N making it look like a W. Instead of In God We Trust, it looks as if it says W God We Trust. And maybe there's an error I don't see. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19216 Posts	Posted 07/06/2020 4:45 pm The I in IN appears to have been 'hit', with the metal forming the I rotating slightly counterclockwise. Looking closely one can see the path the hit I took. Coins are made of relatively soft metal. Hits on soft metal details can appear to move the details into other positions.

This cause cause by something mechanical, like a quarter Gumball Machine. So the coin was damaged after it was in use. Just a face value coin. Report this Post to the Staff
