1976 penny no mint mark with a short W in the "we"

Hello everyone
I need help with this coin. The letter W in the word "we" seems to to be short. Could this be any type of error?

Yes, the "w" is short, in fact, I can't see it.

 

I can't tell from your pictures exactly what it is but I'm guessing it is either from a grease filled die or some Mechanical Doubling. Neither of which add any value.

 

Welcome to CT. I see nothing out of the ordinary, even after enlarging your photo. Just a little worn. Not an error.

 

Thanks so much and also for the reply.

 

Thanks for replying. I appreciate it

 

Thanks for replying, the E it's also a little short at the bottom.

 

@J Sanchez
FYI - The use of a "Poll" is helpful when you are trying to learn something about the preferences of the voters.

For example: "Which denomination is your favorite?" (Pick one)
1. Cent
2. Nickel
3. Dime
4. Quarter
5. Half Dollar
6. Dollar

Since your poll is meaningless, I voted for both options.

Thanks Chris, this will help a lot.

 

You meant WE not we
All the letters on the coin are capital letters

 

A rule of thumb is missing/small numbers/letters are indicative of damage, or wear to the die. Errors they are but not worth much if anything.

 

Yes, you're 100% right. My mistake

 

Thanks for helping. I have learned a lot today!

 

Yes

 

Thanks

 

I have a 1976,1975,1977 pennies missing the letter under date does this count as a error

 

I have a 1955 double die penny is that valuable

 

Why are you posting on this old thread? It has nothing to do with a 1955 Cent. Create your own unique thread with pictures.
And.. The correct numismatic terminology is Doubled Die not double die. Big difference

 

No.. That just means they were minted at the Philadelphia Mint. They don't use the P Mint Mark on Cents except 2017. Only year they used the P Mint Mark.
