this is a very awesome penny I found about 6 months ago. I was wondering if you guys can please explain to me what I may have here. It looks like a misprint and the back looks kind of odd. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much
No picture? What it could be a what we call a Struck Through Grease. Sometime debris can get into the working Obverse Die that is striking the Blank Planchet and this would not allow certain numbers, letters of images to be struck on the coin. It's a common occurrence. Also, Coins are not printed but struck. Paper currency is printed.
Beautiful large picture.. that's what we love! Yes your Cent is considered a struck through grease. Common but with no huge premium. Here are 2 from my collection.. one minor and one major
Thanks a lot paddyman98 for the help and the knowledge. I appreciate you taking the time to look at my coin and nice coins. Thanks for sharing
