Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 10/04/2021 06:12 am @scotty, the first digit in the date has sustained a hit which has "smushed" it to be at an angle with the rest of the date. This happened after the coin was struck and is considered damage. Your cent is only worth face value.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19229 Posts	Posted 10/04/2021 07:23 am Yes, the first 1 in the date took a 'lateral' hit in circulation. Copper is a relatively soft metal and can be moved/reshaped by hits. Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19969 Posts	Posted 10/04/2021 8:47 pm Welcome to CC! Sorry, it's just common damage and worth 1 cent. Here is another example of something similar. Due to it's shape, the 1 seems extra susceptible to damage. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
