I have this 1946 Lincoln Wheatie that the reverse is basically blank, and looks like almost like a steel penny in color (however worn). You can barely make out the 'ONE CENT' and on the right side a veri faint mark, althought it's somewhat raised of the wheat leaf. I have no picture as I tried using my digital camera and for whatever reason, it doesn't take a picture that resembles anything other than a disk... Is there potential value in a coin such as this enough to warrant to submit to CONECA?
Maybe you could use your scanner for this one too? It's impossible to be able to give you an answer without seeing the coin.
Here is an attempt to attach a scanned image of it. Weigt of the coin is 3g. if I used the kitchen scale correctly..
It doesn't look like a mint error to me. Someone possibly ground off or cored out the reverse and then filled it with solder to restore the original weight. That's my guess.
Maybe, but while it doesn't show up in the picture, you can still see the outline of the word 'ONE CENT' on it and also the right wheat leaf. I would have thought if they ground it out and then refilled it, you wouldn't see anything of the lettering.....
Maybe the design wasn't completely ground off. It just looks like you have some extra metal that was spilled onto the reverse. The appearance is nothing like what you'd expect with either a struck-thru error or a uniface strike. And, needless to say, neither of the latter errors would show a different composition on one face.
