F3wiki New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 07/24/2022 1:38 pm The date on this penny is messed up. It is either an 81 with a slanted 1 or an '82 with missing part of the 2. it weighs exactly 3.00 grams so it has to be copper. on the '82 d pennies the base of the 2 doesn't seem to be this close to the 8. what do you guys think. thanks for the help.

halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 1501 Posts	Posted 07/24/2022 2:11 pm Agree w/ Coinfrog. The "1" is too close to the "8" to be a grease-filled "2" — and doesn't have a Greaser look, anyway. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 07/24/2022 2:52 pm @f3, yes this is interesting damage. We frequently see the last digit on the date partly slid like this or sometimes the L in LIBERTY takes this damage.

We will never know, the coin do not wrote CVS or speak. Agree with all above. Edited by silviosi 07/24/2022 3:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
