If the edge of the 69 sticks out more then any other cent you have then its probably nothing or would be hard to prove! but id look into that one first! or the 45. could be a ragged clip or something but you hold the coin. do you have a scanner1200dpi or better scan it if nothing else it will help you see it clearer.
The 1983 shows a CUD error, a few coins appear to show clipped planchets, others look damaged. It usually helps us let you know what you have if it is 1 coin per thread and you let us know what you see different in the coin. Best of luck and welcome.
nice finds. I got my girlfriend $25 in pennies today ...so far 2 wheaties...she will go threw the rest of the box when she gets home from work today.
if you like pennies, here coppercoins site, http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/date.php now you can look for DDOs & DDRs &RPMs ETC.
Let me know what that 69 turns out to be. Im interested regardless. If you look at the edge/side of the coin and the indentation doesnt stick out or you can feel it or see any metal sticking out past the tolerence of an average cent you have. then try bang two cents together maby and compare them. Only you could say for sure at this point. Does the one with the cud have any damage on the edge of the coin like a thin object was pressed into the side of the coin? If so its just pmd! but it looks legit!
Ok First thanks 2 everyone who has helped I JRAL1 I did what you said I even made sure they was both copper First thing I see that makes me think this was done at the mint it The text tranferd 2 the other coin The 69 I have has no extra text What do you think
