1956 wheat penny

Is this a die error? Found it in a roll full of wheat pennies.

Got to have a picture to even guess at what you have.

 

Yes, it is, one of the best I have ever seen.

 

It is an error to not include photos.

 

You mean ever not seen. Me too.

 

ditto

 

I see nothing, I hear nothing, so I'll say nothing.

 

Do you mean that the coin does not have the normal reverse you are used to seeing? If so its not and error. Cents were minted with a reverse that had two stalks of wheat up until 1959. If you believe the coin has some type of error beyond that that you have to provide us pictures or a description of what the coin looks like.

 

'58! '59 began the memorial cents.

 

I said up until 1959. Not including 1959.

 

You were wrong. Saying that they were minted up til '59 implies that there are wheaties out there dated 1959. The were minted up til '58 would have been correct.

 

Semantics...

 

Sorry guys the pic never attached last night.
Here they are now!

 

Not any error. It has either been buried or exposed to acid. What you are seeing it the resultant corrosion.

 

Even though it is raised higher in places?

 

I am sorry, but it's just trashed.

 

Tats what I figured just didn't know the cause...

 

Sarcasm is often wasted...or I was wasted when I posted that...or whatever...

 

Hey Rick.. Its plausible that there was a 1959 Wheat Cent minted. HERE

It would be called a mule.. Also I read it just as the person typing it meant it to be. One thing I do know.. make sure you run spell check here or some "perfectionist" will jump on you.

To, Two, Too....
