    Howdy coinzzz1 - Welcome to the Forum !!

    Based on your description it sounds like you have a damaged coin - value 1 cent. But if you can please go ahead and post the pics and we can provide you with a better answer and/or explanation.

    thanks for your response i was on another board and got flamed just for joining and your 1 post alone was much more informative i will try to get those pics but damaged well for example the coins 0 is misplaced if i rotate the 0 40-50 degrees to the left it almost looks like its lined up properly but its still scrunched the 0 looks like smushed together it is pretty banged up but i highly doubt banging up a coin that bad can alter the way it was printed on i think this might be a printer error because if it was damage you would be able to see the traces of wat shifted or somethin like that ill try to get those pics id have to buy camera and stuff for pc i never really things like that for computer

    Does sound like a dinged up coin and not a Mint error. Yes you would have to post a photo to see what your really talking about.
