I have a 1930 Wheat cent that is odd to me.

Not quite sure how to classify it in my hoard.

Looks almost like the 0 in the date got smooshed but there are no traces of impact or damage to the coin. Look at the pics and tell me what you guys think.

Please forgive if my picture talent is not as good as you fine folks.

Yeah, unfortunately, it's damage. If you look closely at your second picture, you can faintly see the rest of the "0" to the right. It was pushed over by something possibly done at the Mint or post mint.

Yes, it was not until I put it in the scope that I saw the raised material.

You have no idea the contortion act I performed to get it to show up on camera.

But to have no damage or sign of trauma at in the place where it should have sat it what let me to think of it as odd.

Thank you for the answer. I appreciate it. If I could ask another favor. Take a look at the flying eagle I just posted and give that a looksie.
Rest in Peace

For those who have been around a while, this subject has been covered numerous times.

This type of damage is caused by counting and rolling machines.
