spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 05/21/2021 03:46 am Seeing it now, the 2 appears to be kind of smashed over to the left and that would most likely be the result of a Coin Wrapping Machine. Just damage, I believe. Do you have a pic of the entire coin?

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/21/2021 09:06 am Vending machine damage rather than a wrapping machine, I'd guess. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/21/2021 10:12 am I'm guessing with the angle of the damage how it is almost always parallel to the rim, and the date, a Gumball Machine is probably the case. Still a Wheat cent. Report this Post to the Staff

sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 05/21/2021 7:53 pm Welcome. I agree on the "2" being smashed. However you might want to look very closely at the "D" mint mark. Hard to tell, but looks like possible repunched mint mark. Look up that year/mint on variety vista to see examples. Report this Post to the Staff
