Is this an error coin or is it a common occurance?

    Welcome to the board. It is neat to find things like that. It's a good way to learn.

    Not an error, there would be hundreds of thousands like this struck from this particular die.
    It depends on how many were struck before the die was retired.
    In the future, please crop your photos so we can see the coin instead of the background.

    As said, interesting coin. Welcome to the forum and I agree with the cropping tip.

    Also, you may want to check for one of the many RPM's for this date on Variety Vistas. Your photo doesn't allow me to enlarge well enough to see. Many have the S mintmark close to the date. Good luck.
