Hello. I have a 1956 d penny. It has wavy text in e pluribus unum, a large B in liberty, a tilted DD date and mintmark(?), doubling in god and trust and a small w with big E in we. I cannot find these coin errors combined and cannot find the wavy letters references at all. I am curious as to what/why this is this way... Please help. Thanks!! I can't figure out how to attach photos here, so this a link to the pics.

    Welcome to the forum!
    There is lots of very knowledgeable folks here that could offer their help but it’s impossible to evaluate a coin without decent pictures at the very least.

    The oddest thing about it is that the 1958 coin was struck in 1956.

    Kidding aside, that is a normal coin struck with somewhat worn dies and a little bit of impact damage.

    Thank you. So a worn die makes the I split like that? That's pretty cool.

    Impact with an object will cause the I to bend

    The oddly sized B in LIBERTY Is the right size for that year at minimum

    Looks to be a circulated coin with normal wear.

    Just to vent on a side note.....

    I'm really tired of getting the "Leaving" page every time I click on a link here. Obviously I know I'm leaving if I click on a damn link.

    Quit wasting your time on "stuff" like this. It isn't "cool", it is just boring. If you are going to look for "errors" the errors must have a "wow" factor if they are going to generate any interest. The microscopic "stuff" has no "wow" factor. In my opinion if you need high magnification to see it or have to wonder about it it isn't worth bothering with.

    All glory is fleeting.

    Wow. Harsh.

    How do you know this isn't the first coin they ever looked at?

    @Krisalane Welcome aboard.
    IMO, the different colors used in your photos distract from seeing what you are trying to show us.
    Stick with the actual coins color.

    @Krisalane .... Welcome aboard.... You have a normal cent with some PMD (Post Mint Damage) and worn dies... No numismatic premium. Cheers, RickO

    Wow! What a joy kill. I bet you're great fun at parties!
    First off, I was a brand newbie when I posted this, and your type of response is the reason people get discouraged and don't dig deeper. I'm really glad it took me this long to see! Second, It Is Cool!!! The I is wavy (and visible to the naked eye since that seems to be your matrix of wow). And, lastly, I checked... your name was not listed anywhere as the arbiter of stuff, cool, boring, errors or wow factor. As such, I will be "wasting My time" on anything I please. Have a day.

    I can see what you mean, It doesn't translate well in the pics even though it sometimes help me see different spots irl.
    Thanks for the advise!
