Looks like typical gumball or other vending machine damage. The last digit in the date has been displaced by the machine's mechanism.

Post Mint Damage can look like an error on occasion. We've seen hundreds of coins with sheared and deflected metal on the date that probably came from hundreds of different vending machines, but it's most common on gumball machines.

Have you ever dropped a cent in a Gumball Machine and had to force the handle to turn? When this happens, the mechanism can cut into the coin and reposition the metal. Usually parallel to the rim as seen on your coin.

Errors are extremely rare, which makes some so valuable. PMD can be found on a large percentage of coins mistaken for errors.

The enter workings of a coin accepter is made of metal that's much harder than the metal of a copper cent with sharp edges everywhere.

It is post mint damage as described, you can see where the original position of the 1 was, and how the metal was pushed sideways. There are a lot of these, and they show up on the coin forums frequently. If it seems a large percentage of coins presented are identified as post mint damage, that's because a large percentage of the coins posted are post mint damage!

I'm with the mechanical vending machine issue--just my opinion. Consider sending your coin to a third party grading/assessment service. If you do, please share the results. Thanks.

As I stated, just my opinion. That's the nature of this forum--conversation, and exchange of ideas and opinions.

There is no mention of the "error" on the slab because it's not an error so you set no one up but yourself.
Took me literally 3 minutes to find all the images on this page. (Note the 41D) All the same direction, all the last digit.
Plus all years when gumball machines were still common. => Gumball Machine Damage.
I put that page together years ago.

No mention of it being an error => https://www.ngccoin.com/certlookup/2279360-009/35/

I find it interesting that you're getting snarky and "emphatically" think this is an error and you don't even know what a Cud is. Time for a reality check. http://goccf.com/t/443773

100% PMD, I have one too. I found this one searching a wheat bag. Damage to the last digit of the date is common on circulated coins. NGC should NOT have graded this coin because it's considered damaged.
