lauren72585 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 03/07/2024 01:16 am I have a 1955 Wheat penny and it has a error I've never seen before and I don't know if it's worth getting appraised. Can anyone help please? It has 'trust' stamped in the bottom on the rim and it's written upside down. Report this Post to the Staff

The upside down and backwards letters on your coin resulted from someone laying another coin on it and pounding it with a hammer or squeezing them in a vise.

lauren72585 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 03/07/2024 8:22 pm Well how come it doesn't have any other scratches that would prove it was beat into it? And I got this coin out of my cash drawer at work Report this Post to the Staff

If you feel you have a legit rarity, suggest you submit the coin to a reputable 3rd party coin grading/authentication/assessment service. If you do, please let us know the result. Thanks.

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 03/08/2024 4:55 pm Because the TRUST was the only part of the other coin that contacted this coin. It's a nice find in circulation, but it's still just damage. Report this Post to the Staff
