The Lincoln side looks normal but the other side looks is almost impossible to make out. It looks almost like it was spun around and all of the letters came off. You can only make out the PLURI and the U in PLURBUS and the UNU in UNUM. You also can only make out the O in ONE CENT. I was wondering if someone tampered with the penny, or if this is a mint error   06-16-2009, 10:49 AM   #2 (permalink) rockdude Coin Collector     Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: ca. Posts: 2,742 My Mood: Welcome to the forum crov16. It could be a mint error. How about a picture. __________________ “Life is tough, but it's tougher when you're stupid.” John Wayne   06-16-2009, 11:48 AM   #3 (permalink) just coins Just coins dealer   Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: upstate NY Posts: 1,313 My Mood: We need pics to determine what you have JC AND Attached Images     06-16-2009, 12:20 PM   #4 (permalink) lionsdog64 Senior Member   Join Date: Jan 2009 Posts: 129 My Mood: welcome also , i just went threw my 51d"s and they all been threw the mill dont no if it was a bad year mint or just got a lot of use. need pics.   06-17-2009, 10:37 AM   #5 (permalink) JHT Junior Member   Join Date: Jun 2009 Posts: 1 could possibly be an error, but would have to see a picture to confirm.   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Tags 1951, disfigured, impossible, penny, wheat penny Would you like to support CoinTalk?
