Pre 1969 issue. New hub starting in 1969.

 

Yes we have the old master dies. The weakness at the rim and blended rim "We Trust" is what I am referring to.

 

Tapered Planchet? Maybe a bit.

 

a "bonkers" hub ... damaged

 

Question (or opinion): dies are perishable - is this an error or just a mint state specimen from a worn die? If it’s an error, then why?

 

3/4ths plus of the coin says mid die stage.

 

Coin produced with a worn/streched master die.
Last year of the master die that was reworked in 1916.
Last year of high relief cent coin.

 

You have a full rim, hence the third side was prepped correctly.

 

Here is the average+ that I have found in the bag.

 

I am finding it hard to get a good photo. This coin has a slightly tapered planchet.
It is the reason for the weakness on the obverse. If you look close the reverse shows a light weakness also.
