Hello, While looking through pennies I found 5 that stood out. By the looks of them, they all have a secondary rim struck into them, its most visible on the obverse but it is also on the reverse. I have looked up examples of spooned coins, die adjustment strikes and others that held some similarity but none matched entirely. The coins text is nice but also shows a bit of weakness. The ring goes all the way around the pennies, straight through the text, but i cannot determine if it was present before or came after the full strike. Heres the pics. There are 5 altogether, but on a few of the images uploaded, only 3 pennies show here, the last front view didnt upload.
no , they are too common , the mint has to make so many coins nowdays they use the dies until they almost fall apart.
btw, i found that each of them has between a 5 degree and 15 degree turn to the reverse, 4 are clockwise, the other is counter clockwise, any word on that, i heard that rotation isnt normal, any truth to that?
this is also common , if the rotation was rotated at least 30 degrees or more then the coins may be worth a small premium. the mint allows somewhere around 15 degrees as normal mint tolerances.
5 degrees is normal, 15 degrees is pushing it, but still within parameters. You need to hit 90 degrees before it will start to add a premium.
ok, cool, never noticed much rotation in coins before i began looking, guess ill keep my eyes out for something more significant.
