Weird looking date 1951 Lincoln penny

I was going through my coins and came across this 1951 penny. The date looks really weird. I can't find any info on their being an error that year so i don't kno what to make of it. Tell me what you think.

    What you have is a coin with "PMD."
    Post Mint Damage., meaning that it is not an error and that the damage happened after the minting process.
    The "1" in the date was moved or scraped by contact with perhaps another coin or something else which actually disturbed the metal.
    It would have no value as an error coin and would be considered a damaged or problem coin.

    The link looks liker a fisher.

  • I don't know what a fisher is but it sounds like your accusing me of something, I just wanted to know your opinion on the coins nothing else.

    KEV ....i'm pretty sure no accusations were intended...i'm sure he meant that the site you host your
    pictures on appears to be a "fisher" or "phisher" site.

    I say this because it's asking me to loge in with my password. I don't keep my email logged in all the time and your link is asking me to enter my password. :/

  • I didnt know it would ask you for your password.

    I opened the link and viewed the images no problem.
    I was not asked for password or anything else...the images just opened and appeared.
