Error on 1911 P? LIBER(7 over T)Y?

UkuleleFlyfisher

Hi Folks

I'm new to Lincoln Penny collecting and have been purchasing Wheat Penny rolls to get started. The 1911 P came out of one of the rolls. I already have a nicer version of a 1911 P and was attempting to grade this one to resell it. While grading I noticed the word LIBERTY on the obverse side looks like LIBER7Y. On closer inspection in looks to me like a 7 was stamped on top of what was suppose to be a T. Its just weird. I've included pictures of both the obverse and reverse of the coin in question. I've also included a close up picture of LIBER7Y on the obverse. Finally I've included an obverse picture of my normal 1911 P.

Please let me know what you think. Error? Something common? Worth anything other than the $5-$6 I appraise a 1911 P in this condition?

Thank you

that is from a "hit" (contact) on the "T"

pretty lucky hit to make it look like a 7.

the "Y" has also been abused by something hitting it.

Maybe 7 is a lucky number. Worth anything?

MsMorrisine

there is nothing special about it. so, there will be no premium for it. it's still a 1911.

No error of any kind....sorry

Damage, as mentioned.

And where are worn 1911 cents worth $5-6?

Thanks folks for the information! Much appreciated education.

@UkuleleFlyfisher.... Welcome aboard... great pictures, but no numismatic premium for PMD (Post Mint Damage). Cheers, RickO

Still a great roll find. A great resource for variety/error Lincolns is here:
