hi I was wondering is this an error on the edge or is it a fake error?

it is off center when the coin is struck a little bit off the dies. Pretty common.

Is the rim flatted by IGWT? If so, then it is probably a lucky penny popped out of its encasement. Better pictures of both sides would help.

Welcome coin.

It is not fake, but the other side could tell us what kind of error it is.

Do you have a reverse pic? What others seem to be alluding to is that if it affects only the obverse it is a MAD or MisAligned Die. If it shows on the reverse iit is an off-center strike. The difference being the number of dies involved.
Rest in Peace

Strange but, l have seen a couple like that. Interesting keepers I guess.
Biokemist6, what does the acronym IGWT stand for? Excuse my ignorance if it common.

Biokemist6, is there a way to post IGWT to the CCF Glossary? Thanks again.
