Spence Moderator United States 34396 Posts	Posted 09/02/2022 8:30 pm @thri, not an error, but rather mechanical damage to that number four, which has squished it a little bit. Normally, we ascribe this type of damage to gumball machines, but it is hard to know for sure what caused it.

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21586 Posts	Posted 09/02/2022 8:35 pm Looks like a 1964 but not an error. The 4 has been hit and moved to the left probably by a coin rolling/ machine. Report this Post to the Staff
datadragon Pillar of the Community United States 1648 Posts	Posted 09/02/2022 8:59 pm Mechanically damaged after strike by a Coin Wrapping Machine or vending machine possibly, and then after being in circulation it later smoothed the field around the damage.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19120 Posts	Posted 09/02/2022 10:20 pm Agree with all above. Post-strike damage, likely of a mechanical nature. We see similar examples once or twice monthly. Report this Post to the Staff
