1956-d unknown mis-strike need to know the value.

this penny is completely missing the rim completely i would like some one to assess my these pictures and maybe give me an estimate of the value of this penny because i have found nothing on this particular mis-strike [/ATTACH]

First of, welcome to CT!

Your pictures are awfully small to see the detail I need, but I am nearly positive that is not a mis-strike. As a stab, I would say that someone was playing on a lathe and machine off the rim.

 

if you like i can email a larger picture. i couldn't attach them when they were full sized

 

As rlm'scents pointed out, it looks like PMD=Post Mint Damage, and he is one the of the leading cents guys on the forum.

Welcome.

 

Ok people it is not post print damage. The actual pictures i took are huge and extremely detailed. There is only one tiny little flaw in the non rim of this penny as i said i can send an email with the actual sized photos

 

Talk to Rascal about this one.

 

send me a private message with your email address and i will email you with with a much larger picture open the picture up and hit edit the picture is twice as big as it's displayed in your picture viewer.

 

can you post a link please?

 

Its PMD I have the same coin and thought the same as you but it is PMD

 

Lol @ rickmp.

 

Here is a picture I received in the mail cropped and doubled in size. I have not changed my opinion except I am not 95+% sure it is PMD.

BTW, there is no reason the picture you sent me could not be posted here. The only limit is 250 KB and yours was only 135 KB.

 

I am not an expert but it look very much like a 1963 I removed one the lucky penny holder.but maybe Mike D can evaluate it much better than I.

 

That cent was definately a former encapsulated coin, as in the "lucky penny" tokens where they put a ring of aluminum around the cent. Post mint damage all the way.

If you have access to a microscope or a high magnification loupe, examine the area that appears to be cut away to see if there are circular lines that would indicate it was cut by a lathe.

By the way, coins are struck............stamps and paper money are printed.

there are no tooling marks of any kind it's smooth. like it was minted as such

 

I'm going with PMD on this one. As has been said, a former encapsulated "lucky coin" or something similar.

 

Formally encased coin:

 

I also think PMD.

 

I don't see how there is any way possible that this could have been produced this way at the Mint. It couldn't have been struck in a dime coining chamber because neither the planchet nor the die would fit. If the planchet was already defective, once it was struck, metal would flow to fill the voids and you would have a thinner or weakly struck coin.

I'm going with PMD unless someone can come up with another theory.

Diggit, I've seen thousands of these encased coins in my lifetime, but I've never seen one where they had to trim the edge to hold it in place, so I don't think it was an encased coin as others suggested. Do you agree?
