DanDatMan New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 07/01/2022 12:05 am I've been looking through pennies recently and I found this 1974 penny. It looks like something is wrong with the 4 on the date. I'm not sure if this is an actual error or just damage. Any ideas? Report this Post to the Staff

Tricia4492 New Member United States 26 Posts	Posted 07/01/2022 12:19 am Looks to me to be a DDO from what I can tell as well as a woody but I'm not sure what's up with the 4 probably just damage or maybe a lamination error but I would def add that to your collection of DDO woodies if you get a chance go check out my latest topic about my "Beautiful 1988 MS+ Penny with a Cud on the reverse" and give me some input pretty please!

JTCC Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 07/01/2022 02:03 am I do not believe this is a DDO, the date is damaged by a hit in circulation. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/01/2022 04:50 am Not an error. The 4 took a hit from being circulated,the 7 looks like it to.Not a DDO and not a woody.Those are roller lines. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19155 Posts	Posted 07/01/2022 8:29 pm In a little late with this... The 4 took a circulation hit and the lines on the obverse appear to be roller lines, not the woody (alloy) issue. Report this Post to the Staff
