    IMG_2242.JPG Also any idea if this is a lamination error on my 1946 copper wheat penny and/or of any value on this? the photos do not adequately show the actual copper color.

    Looks like a Strike Through issue. Not a Lamination error.

    The die state is to early and also shows that it isn't an indirect design transfer. That Image, definitely looks like Lincoln?

    A bit of Indirect Image Transfer.. Ghosting?.. Is what I though.
    Interesting

    so that's lincoln ghosting on the obverse? Does that mean it was caused by another coin or by the lincoln die itself?

    Indirect design transfer is supposed to be a characteristic of repeated striking of the planchets. After repeated use of the die's, if soft enough will start to gain an impression. of the opposing side.

    This doesn't look like your typical IDT. The dies seem to new.

    well that's a bummer. so what does that really mean, it's a fake or doctored?

    Definitely not a fake.. Not doctored. As I stated earlier it could be a Strike Through issue. It's a Minor Mint Error.

    No Doctoring. Just something that needs homework. Cool coin!

    Do not put your e mail.
    As for the color since it doesn't look plated it was probably harshly cleaned.
