I have a 1982 D penny with misspelled words IN “GUD” WE “TRUSY”. This penny is one big mess. There is doubling and all kinds of things going on with it. I don’t know much about coins and errors or how to describe what the issues are so any help is greatly appreciated.
Welcome to CT!!! As stated this is just circulation damage. The last T in trust took a hit and pushed the metal a little to cause it to look like a Y. A spender IMO.
Copper is very soft and is easily moveable, and wear. Look at all the scraps, wear and stuff on the coin. If you hit the top of a "T" it can be easily made to look like a "Y". Just an old penny that has had a lot of damage.
