2010 penny worn die or a blank die pressed on??

I have found this 2010 penny that grabbed my attention when I saw this almost perfect crescent around the coin .. Hopefully these images are at it's best!! Let me know what do you think?!

Shesh

 

I don't know what it is, but at least you found something visually macroscopic. I was looking through Wexler's list of die varieties for the 2010 cents, and you really do need a microscope to see most of them. Such tiny varieties just don't hold my interest.

I went through 10 rolls of 2014 cents, just because they arrived at the bank last month, and found nothing - they were are all dreadfully perfect and boring. Well, there may have been some microscopic doublings, but I can't be bothered with that - (no offense to the guys with microscopes!)

 

It looks like a plating issue...plate shift is what I think they call it. Something you see commonly on 80s and 90s zincers.

 

If you look closely it's almost 45-50% pressed in. Possible dye crack or grease trap? It goes all the way up to the letters of America look closely. Can't be a planchet error

 

Crescent? Educate me. Is that the dark area in the photograph?

 

I will respectfully disagree. A plating issue is the cause of the ridge near the edge of your coin.

 

Never mind. I'm a dolt.......

 

And what causes the "plating issue" a crescent that comes from no where "flat to smooth to deep then to flat. And I looked at it. More then 50% of the coin is like that so now teach me what I need to learn before I just go bonkers on some nonsense haha

 

It

its okay mr. Green that's what I did when I looked through my collection from 2011

 

Too much Evan Williams......

 

Perhaps a little patience could be in order?

 

its just a worn die, I have tons of them

 

Post it from 2010 then

perhaps some people just need an answer! Hehe

ahh I appreciate it, I wish I know what it's called because when you look at it it bothers you so much lol

 

How many you want me to post, have some from every year of the shield cent

 

Couple from 2010

 

As one other commentator has noted, this is a manifestatation of die deterioration.

 

or worn die, thanks mike for your support, save me from taking photos

 

Hehehe it's okay. Is it a keeper?
