@Dj67 After 75+ years in circulation, there any number of ways that the "1" could have taken a hit to smash it. Sorry, the Mint may be sloppy at times, but not that sloppy. Look at it this way. If this was a true Mint error, you would think there would be thousands of others just like it. It's just PMD. Chris
I've made this mistake, and chances are, it is from being on an end of a roll and the automatic machine flattened it.
