Sometimes the last digit in the date gets this type of mechanical damage and other times it is the L of LIBERTY.

Actually validated by PCGS themselves, and verified by them the experts! there is a 1941 crooked one variety. so who's to say that there can't be a 1951 also nice find!

He's talking about this one with Gumball Machine Damage.

https://www.pcgs.com/auctionprices/...905245725615

But that's actually an NGC slab and the variety is the small S, not some phantom slanted 1.

So what you're saying is that PCGS is selling fake or counterfeit products on their own website and they wouldn't validate anything like that because they're not the experts right because that's not their job right because that's not what they're certified and go through training for to be certified to do it because that's what you guys do right you guys certify coins legally because you are certifiers right here's some more information about it there buds the thing is instead of being like a child why don't you learn something and open your mind to the possibility that you were wrong you are absolutely wrong the thing is here's some more information on it unbelievable worse than a child sometimes like a toddler games why don't you call PCGS and ask him about that coin maybe you might learn something but I doubt it because you're probably going to be tunnel vision and you're like I'm right I'm right there's no other way about it it's ridiculous yeah right it's ridiculous is you claiming to be an expert when clearly the evidence shows that you are not

1951-D-Wheat-Penny-With-Weird-Crooked-Digit

And basically what you're saying is that there's no credibility to either of these Grading Services number one NGC or PCGS for having a counterfeit fake Gumball damaged coin on the website for sale so we can't trust them why should we trust you ridiculous it's called being an adult and admit when you're wrong or don't it's fine I can live with it

it's a slanted 1 not gumball damage if it were Gumball damage you would see remnants of how and where it was pushed over from you cannot see any of that on the coin I have or on the coin that is graded by NGC and PCGS is selling it yeah you'd be able to tell where it was pushed over from when there's nothing there because it was a slightly slanted one during the minting process now let's see if we get this thread locked now and probably deleted because someone's going to be a overreacting cuz I can't take it I give it within an hour it'll be locked and deleted
