the first picture is a 1909 penny. second picture is a 1911 penny. third picture is NOT a error coin. on the first two pictures something doesn't look right with the "E Pluribus Unum" the first two look WEIRD compared to the third penny. some of the letters look to be filled on the first two??? Thanks guys!!!
The first two coins are lot more worn than the last. Seems to be the only difference to me. Keep searching!!!
There are certain characteristics that are common with Lincolns. Since the O in ONE and the start of E PLU are opposite Lincoln's shoulder and coat on the obverse side of the coin, they sometimes don't get their fair share of the metal. Even on a mint version of the coin they may be weak. Now add wear. If the letters are shallow to start with, it takes less wear to erase them completely. Your coins may be a combination of a weak strike followed by wear, wearing away the weakest letters faster than the rest.
Yup, wear will do lots of crazy things. Nothing special with your coins, but they would be nice album fillers.
Yeah, and the Es are sort of "filled" as well! Seriously though, step back and look objectively upon the coins. Don't focus on one tiny aspect, but look at the entire coin and ask yourself if there could be a simple reason for the "filled P". There's another collecting area I'm rather familiar with, and those interested in said area are always urged to "read the .....". Well, the same is true for coins, and is something I wish more people would take to heart. The coin itself can tell you everything you'll need or want to know/understand as long as you know how to listen.
