1924 Wheat Penny Error?

I recently came across this1924 Wheat Penny that looks as if they mispelled UNUM as UKUM. Any idea if its valuable? Or am I just seeing things wrong? Appreciate any feedback.

welcome to CT abigail, i'd say the coin took a hit sometime in the past and moved the metal, copper is fairly soft and can move easily when it takes a hit...

 

Thank you so much for the reply. Appreciate it

 

It is simple. The letter N in UNUM took a hit which misshaped it.
This is not an error but what we call PMD - Post (After it left the mint) Mint Damage

There is no letter K used on the Reverse or Obverse of any Cent.

 

Thank you for your help.

 

I came across a 1924 penny with the letters cen stamped across the obverse side across Lincolns head. Any suggestions
Who i should contact to find rarity of this coin.

 

Create your very own unique thread with pictures. Is the word CEN incused into the Obverse and backwards?

 

They can't misspell a word (UNUM) since it is engraved in the die, and hundreds of thousands of coins would have this error. They must test the die with some test pieces before they put it into production.

Yes it is however I'm not familiar with phones more less coins so I will have to figure out how to send a picture to my post.

 

The same way you did above.


Thanks,
