Usa Error New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 07/15/2023 09:11 am I am not sure what kind of error this is on my 1970 D Lincoln Cent. The "0" in the date is broad and flat. Can any one help? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95443 Posts	Posted 07/15/2023 09:26 am The 0 is damaged, got smashed somehow. This didn't happen at the mint. Collecting since 1972.
