    Unless this is some kind of contest, try starting with what you think you see.

    No contest just posting to see if anyone sees anything. I dont know what I see but there is something there so I am asking. I thought that is what this sight is for?

    Maybe it is me, but I am not seeing anything but a hit on N. And maybe a small die crack, but nothing notable.

    The O looks a little fat and rounded on the top. Is this something that is normal or is this nothing at all? If this is a normal error what is it called?

    It's not exactly the best practice to post a picture of a coin and asking US if we see anything...we are not here to search for you. You have to explain as best as you can what you are seeing that is making this coin different. You could even re-upload the pic with arrows if need be.

    I tried to explain what I thought I saw last time and I got chewed up by some and others gave me there advice with grace. I just figured that I would show the pictures and get a response rather than trying to explain what I think I see I just know its not the same as other pennys. I think there is rounding at the top of the O in the word one the N is also strang looking a little in the middle on the right. I dont know how to add arrows at the moment but I will learn. Thank You all bare with me still learning.

    Lets see if these picturs are any better than the last ones. It is not polish but I can see how you got that from the first picturs. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

    OK looked at the second photo's and I am not sure there is anything there. It could be a simple coin clash maybe? I myself have thought numerous times I had found something but ended up with just a penny.

    Question for you, are you roll searching or something like that? If so I would suggest the Cherry Pickers guide Vol. 1, 5th edition ( I am not sure if an additional edition has come out yet) as a reference tool. It is also good if you are just randomly looking for errors as well.

    Oh btw, great pics!

    I didn't say that the coin was polished, I said that the die it was struck with was heavily polished. When dies are clashed, or otherwise damaged, they are polished to remove the damage and to lengthen their life.
