1932 D Penny

Hope everyone is having a good weekend so far. So I was unting for pennies and I found this coin. A 1932 D Penny. It looks like a F to a VF . I was wondering what happened to the letter N in "UNUM" ??? is this a greased filled die?

The "N" just took a hit at some point in its long life. Not an error or anything else of note.

 

Copper, being easy to move, can actually reform letters and numbers when hit just right. Your coin has taken hits over the years of circulation, so that's what happened.

 

That's pretty good for a circulation find. Depression-era cents from 1931 - 1933 don't turn up too often.

 

No. Damaged and misplaced metal.

 

I think it may have been cleaned at some time! High points are clean and low points are not!! JMO

 

I was just wondering if the coin has letters damaged . Why is the N has such a clean line on the left side?

 

not sure but It doesnt look like it has been cleaned to me.

 

Nice find but no errors, PMD. Thanks for sharing.

 

As noted above, copper is soft, so it's susceptible to damage. At some point, something with a straight edge and harder than copper moved material to create the interesting effect. Look at enough coins...you'll see this happens pretty regularly.
