Wheat Penny: Year not struck. Reads 19__.

Is this worth anything?

I'm new to the forum and new to coin collecting. I've been browsing the forums for a while. I haven't see any partial dates quite like this. Thanks for your time!

The error is a struck through error. Something (likely grease) got stuck in the die and prevented a full strike of the date.

 

Thanks non_cents. I didn't really know the term to search for. That's very helpful!

 

The elusive 1908 Lincoln Cent!

 

it might be ??? 1941 ??? from the shadow guessing

 

Since nobody else has said it yet, welcome to Coin Talk. A post with excellent photos of something interesting is always appreciated.

The coin exidently has circulated for quite some time. Does it have a wheat or memorial reverse?

 

Haha rickmp! Thanks Lucky Cuss! I'm sure I'm be posting more nonsense!

Its a wheat. Here is a pic of the reverse:

 

Try a Black+ White photo if you camera will do B+W.
sometimes that will show what was meant to be their 1_,2_,3_,4_,5_.

 

I do see the faint outlines of possible "41" that Snowman was referring to. Another way to possibly see is to simply convert the existing color photo to monochrome (black & white) and then start dialing up the contrast.

 

Cropped one more time . I do see what could be a 4 but a bit to big size wise?

 

I used Lightroom and applied an infrared filter. It didn't help a whole lot, but I think I can see a faint 4. I may try to overlaying a 4 from another coin and see how it fits. I feel like I should be in a forensics lab.

 

If only this cent coulda talk? I am .....

 

I'll guess 1941

 

I have one just like it
