Metalfan New Member Canada 4 Posts	Posted 06/15/2023 4:54 pm I have a 1940 Wheat penny with errors in the "IN GOD WE TRUST" Only half the word TRUST is visible its Cut horizontally with only the bottom half of the word on the coin. . Is this common or valuable Also the world WE is cut in half with a distinct crevice through it and the n in IN is smushed The 0 in 1940 is barely punched I am a relatively new coin collector and could really use someone's opinion on this coin. Please and Thank you Also. no mint mark Edited by Metalfan 06/15/2023 5:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 06/15/2023 9:43 pm that looks life size on my monitor. (way small) but possible Grease Filled Die on the end of the date. I have one just like it but a different date. have a look: Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

cointagous Pillar of the Community United States 1143 Posts	Posted 06/15/2023 9:50 pm I was leaning that way Dearborn but then I see the alignment of the word liberty and want to make sure it's not just damage. Report this Post to the Staff
nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 06/15/2023 9:58 pm since Liberty's I and 1940's 0 are also abnormal, could be damage from a machine Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 06/16/2023 07:16 am I am thinking it is PMD from a vending machine like maybe a Gumball Machine. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
cointagous Pillar of the Community United States 1143 Posts	Posted 06/16/2023 12:24 pm I also think it's just damage as the reverse appears to be normal. The obverse shows that something came into contact with the coin as it was rolling on it's edge. A Gumball Machine definitely could do this. Report this Post to the Staff
