Lincoln memorial cent ERROR penny 1978? 1979? 8 over SMALL 9 ???

I found the coin in one of the bank rolls. It contains error in the date . The last number looks like 8 or 9. Someone told me there is no big deal in it because something has hit the #8 just right to push it over a little, copper is really soft . I am wondering if is error or just a damage and if it is worth anything.

Pmd. Took a hit.... probably from a coin roller/wrapper machine.

 

Welcome to coin talk and I hope you enjoy it as good as I do. I'm disabled and this forum gives me something to do. I saw this coin on Ebay and I'm the one that told you what it is. You are in the right place to learn about coins and if you want to sell them on ebay ask these folks on here before listing them and you will do better on ebay. when we list things on ebay that are not as we say they are folks won't bid for our other item's and we can't blame them for that.

Welcome to the forum.

 

Thank you for your response. Yes, your message was one of the reasons that I am here and wanted to know more about the coins I have.

 

Thank you

 

Now that is the right attitude and you can probably learn fairley fast on the internet. back when I first started trying to learn about coins we never had the internet and learning was slow going for a while. I'm glad to see you here and I hope you enjoy this forum for many years to come. Troy

 

So should i just let it go on ebay for any price or just keep it?

 

In the coin collecting world it's worth 1 cent

 

In the copper investing world, it's worth 2 cents.

 

I have the same coin is it a error

 

It's damaged from a counting machine.

Called a 'sliced digit'
