planchet error?

The edges look pushed in and it's got a weird lip on the inside. Thi9s is my first post and attempt at attching stuff, and I hope I get some useful feedback. Hi everyone!

I think it might be a planchet error with a die smudge error. Not really sure-----hope to hear from you all and educate me

Hi Cynde, Welcome to cointalk. I'll tell you what I have learned so far. What you have is a case of post mint damage with verdigris and some environmental damage. There is no such thing as a die smudge error on coins. Keep looking and dont be afraid to ask questions

 

PMD - Post (after it left the Mint) Mint Damage
Your Cent was damaged due to hits and someone hammering it causing dents.

 

Beat me to it buddy... by seconds!

 

eh' I may as well help out with the easy ones

 

so ok on dents, but how did anyone do what was done around the Date and Liberty

 

deep gouge on the coin, some how the coin got "scraped" who knows how anyone did it.

 

Run over by a truck... or train ;-)

 

so would the same be said about these as well,

p.s. i can send other side of coins if needed

 

rot,rot, no need post mint damage.

 

PLC




Parking Lot Coin

 

I like that " PLC = Parking Lot Coin "

Welcome to CT, Cynde. Hang around here often, you will get a free education at the price of just some of your time.

Try this experiment: put a couple brand new pennies in your driveway. Run over them with your car a couple of times. Leave them out there for a week or two. Run over them again.

Then go get them.

I bet they'll look pretty close to the things you've posted. When we say "parking lot coins", we aren't joking.
