SweetStrawberry New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 05/04/2023 07:38 am Hi everyone! I'm still very new to coins and I'm reading as much as I can and looking at photos, but I still have a hard time deciding between a minting error and damage in the wild. Is this considered a mint error? The 1 in the date looks like an 'r'. Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19155 Posts	Posted 05/04/2023 07:48 am It's customary to post full, large and sharp images of the coin's obverse and reverse--then, a close-in pic or two of the feature(s) in question. Given the one photo posted, I'm thinking the 1 took a circulation hit long ago, which moved metal. Report this Post to the Staff
