This piece and many others were included in it without any labels or anyone with knowledge of his reason for collecting. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2953 Posts	Posted 10/18/2024 8:32 pm First, a big That cent must have had some stories on how post mint damaged it got after it left the Denver mint in 1956... Nice as a heirloom coin after a loved one, damaged or not, as I have quite a number of passed down coins in my collection, so I know the feeling. But yeah, post mint damage occured to this cent, so not a mint error to my eyes This is the third from last year of the Wheat cent coming to a close, and the date is a very common cent with many millions minted that year from both mints.
