    1937 S Wheat Penny With Slanted T States

    This is a 1937 S Wheat Penny I Found and the T is slanted on
    States in the back There is no damage near this letter to
    indicate it was a human error, and the E in cent also looks a bit crooked.
    in fact United States Of America almost looks hand drawn. Can Anyone
    tell me about this coin?

    Here Is the Front and Back of My 1937 S Wheat Penny

        this is an original coin and there is no way its damage
        and here's no damage in the surrounding area.
        I have no time to sit around and photoshop.
        The E in cent is also Slanted is that Damage to?
        I will scan another photo if That pleases You.

          Coins get damaged being ejected out of the machines. It happens.

            I'll put it another way...there is no mint-made error that would replicate what you are seeing on the coin. There is wear and contact marks on your coin, which indicates that it had been. In circulation. At some point during its time circulating, it took a hit/scrape that produced the effect you are seeing there. It is damage.

                Also I have a 30X loupe and seeing it through the loupe
                and scanning it is totally different. through the loupe
                over that slanted T there are die marks clearly i will try to
                scan another photo. through the loupe You see much
                more detail. And from what I researched most Errors
                are discovered by Collectors not the mint.

                  As stated, it is all just minor circulation wear that has caused some minor distortion to the letters on the coin. The design was never altered in such a way as to generate different lettering.

                          Not sure what you mean. Those of us who just took time to answer you inquiry have a great deal of experience, maybe you don't realize it. We have looked at countless Lincoln cents and see this sort of thing myriad times. I am sorry to tell you something you don't want to hear, but the coin is unfortunately not an error coin.

                            There's probably no one else outside this forum who could give you more information than what you have already heard.
                            If for some reason you do feel obligated to get a "professional opinion", please report back with what they had to say regarding your coin.
