Blank Obverse

I found a memorial cent that is blank on the Obverse. It is smooth with no ridge. Any possible value? Thanks!

No value. From what you’re describing it was ground off.

 

Looks like if ground it would have left some kind of scratch or marks of some kind. Perfectly smooth. I will try and post a pic.

 

Pics or it didn't happen.
Possibly a struck through die cap. But again, worthless without pictures. ALWAYS post pictures

 

Yes.. Same thought I had

 

OP said it is the obverse that is blank

 

I noticed that and I quickly changed my post!

 

Not quick enough....

 

OP also said no ridge.. Die cap has a raised rim .. So I feel PMD

 

Bah. Well, we will wait to see pictures

 

patiently holding breath...

 

take a breath...you're turning purple!

 

TOO LATE!!!

 

RIP

 

Back from the dead

 

nope...reincarnated

Wild thing I think you mooooove me
But I wanna know for sure
Come on hold me tight
You mooooove me

 

It sounds like you possibly have a mint error that sometimes, I should say rarely, occurs when two planchets (coin blanks) go into the die at the same time. One of the coins will have a blank obverse (heads) and one will have a blank reverse (tails).

I'm not sure how much that it worth. I did see one with a blank reverse on eBay, and it sold at auction for around $15. The seller did not really have a good title/description though, so it did not have much activity.
