Twanners Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 (edited) So I found a 1970 no mint penny with an error I've never heard of. The S at the end of states on the reverse side has what appears to be an F or an E stamped on it as well. What do y'all think? It's there of course. But what do y'all suggest I do next? The B in liberty also has an R over it out looks like. But this one could be old damage. But the S is definitely visible. Edited July 26 by Twanners Found what appears to be another mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you have is a perfectly normal cent produced at the Philly mint, the anomalies that you think you're seeing were caused by damage/wear while the coin was in circulation.

Possibly a small die chip or chips in that area along with normal wear and tear, there is no "F" or "E". Small die chips are common and do not add any value.

Image is blurry in that area, possibly another die chip, definite circulation wear and damage, and 100% no "R". On 7/26/2024 at 7:57 AM, Twanners said: But this one could be old damage. Yes, agreed.

You should be able to discover why errors that could happen in the 1700s and 1800s can no longer happen today.
