1930? Penny

[Dudeld]

I have this 1930 penny that looks like someone squshed the 0 in but you can still see where the 0 was supposed to be

Things like this usually happened when the coins were rolled. The rolling machine would just catch the very top of the number or letter and shear it a bit. That seems to be what happened here.

Yeah I seen that before but is ciunt on ok more like tze 0 was pushed in jot sheared. If it was sheared then it wouldn't make a line through the middle of the 0 it would have just have an edge on the 0 like ips not across it . That's good n my opinion I could be wrong but all the ones I seen have not had a line after getting sheared

Either way its PMD.

I am not saying this is a rare or an error coun. I was just showed ng it cause I thought it was neat and cool looking. There was not where you in here where I said It was. It's just different and ii just wanted to show it. I don't care if it t was a mint error or just plain damaged I just like the coin and wanted to share ut

Micro analyzing things is not good either. You were given an opinion about it being rolling machine damage. Do you know something we do not... like It was pushed rather than sheared and you had never seen it quite like that before and that it never had a line in it before. How many of these have you seen before? If you just want to show the coin, then that is great, but if you want to talk about how exactly it happened, then understand that we are all taking a guess here. I stated very clearly that it 'seemed' like it was that damage from a rolling machine. If you didn't care, then you wouldn't have said what you did about another member stating it was just PMD. He isn't wrong.

[Dudeld]

I never said he was wrong I was just stating I never said it wasn't PMD or not. He just assumed I was arguing with you. I also was stating that it seemed pushed not sheared but it could be sheared

I didn’t assume anything. Was just saying either way, its PMD. Bob gave his thoughts and you gave yours. Could be either, but both are damage. You posted it as a 1930? as if you didn’t know or thought it was something more than it is. After Bobs comment you were still debating. None of this would have happened if you said all this to begin with. BTW pictures in the right orientation are easier to assess.
