I found this 1969 penny. Does anyone know anything about it? It's looks like some kind of die error.

Only thing I can see is that it looks like the 6 suffered a hit. Post Minting Damage

 

When you look through a magnifying glass it looks like it happened at the mint

 

Exactly what do you think happened at the mint?

 

I'm not really sure maybe something was stuck to the die. I'm new to this but under the scope I'm positive it happened at the mint

 

Perhaps @Fred Weinberg could shed some light on it. BTW, better pictures would help.

 

Ok thanks I appreciate it

 

Is that extra bit by the 6 raised off the surface or pushed into the surface? Or is it raised with a depression next to it? A good photo would really help.

 

It's pushed to the surface. What do you think happened?

 

It looks to be pushed to the surface. What are you thoughts on it. I can try and take a better pic but I'm pretty sure it happened at the mint but I could be wrong

 

The 6 is still there but it looks like it got bumped or something when it was in the press

 

PMD hit by another coin or object

 

Ok thanks for your help

 

Bloody PMD......no great shakes.

 

Well it would have been cool if otherwise.
