    I was searching today's pocket change when I saw this. I think it may be an error, but my crazy eyes may just be playing a prank on me again. Even if it isn;t an error, it is still funny to see what happened the the 8 and P at the very least!

    It is an issue with a worn die strike. Die Deterioration effect.

    Ah, thank you. I just found the effect to be somewhat interesting enough to post here.

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    Check the error-ref.com website that I posted for you in another thread, and look for "Die Deterioration." Read the article.

    Then come back and post your thoughts here.

    Another case of an old worn out Die.

    From what I saw and read, I have to agree with everyone here that it is likely DDD. From what I saw, it has a deterioration effect a lot like the "Poormans 1955 DD".
