Check out this 1919 wheat back.

Guess that "super talented haters" must now be a complement indicating we know coins and told you the truth rather than fawn all over the coin like it was some rare, never discovered mint error and that was you, thanking us kindly for our knowledge??????

Dude that coin is worth a million bucks.
You found a one of a kind!
Well done! Many Atta Boy's too ya!

 

Whoa whoa whoa! Slow down there... he only posted one damaged penny. Machine probably won’t take it!

 

As long as it weighs any machine will take it.
There's no slowing down! He believes his own nonsense even though he has been told it is worthless.

 

Joshua, please read the rules ( and many are very different than other sites due to many family and younger members) as they include memes as well as wording. You can find them by clicking on forums, and then rules. Jim

 

Wrong! Each of the two coins is worth one cent. The 1919 would be worth a net negative $35 more or less if the money is spent to have a third party grading service verify its actual value.

 

@Joshua Davis, you are really giving us on CT some mixed messages. You call us haters, and then tell us you are new and learning and open to being educated. How about deciding which message is how you really feel?

BTW, for you and all others who often respond to "mint error" questions on CT, I am going to revert to my Grammar/Spelling Nazi mode for a brief moment:
It is VISE job, not VICE job.

PLEASE slab this, @Joshua Davis

I wanna see us proved right.

 

Joshua, I started collecting coins in 1957 which is probably before your parents were born.

There is one thing you should know about most coin dealers who run a brick & mortar establishment. That is that their overhead is much too high for them to waste their time looking for and studying error coins. It just isn't a profitable niche for them to pursue.

With that in mind, you will find a lot of coin dealers who don't know squat about error coins, and they will probably give you the same response when shown your coin and that is "I've never seen one like that so maybe you should send it in for authentication. I can do it for you for a small fee." These dealers could care less whether it is an error or not, but they don't want to let on that they know as little as you do.

Just keep that in mind when you talk to your "coin guy".

Thanks @Stevearino I would love to blame my misspelling on autocorrect, but it was my mistake. Although I will blame it on PBC ( posting before coffee)

 

Those are nice photos in the OP's first post,
that show lots of damage to the 1919 cent.

Your cent is damaged, and did not leave the
US mint looking like that at all.

Everything 'different' you see on the coin
occurred well after it was in circulation.

Use it as an educational tool to learn what
circulation, contract marks, damage, etc.
looks like on our coinage.

 

Hi
Hello @Joshua Davis ,
I’m Canadian and I’m going to give you my honest answer.

You already said it your self in the title.
Right above the "we trust" it reads backwards and its e pluribus unum.
So if you flip over a penny and place it on top of another penny. Would the wording be forward or backwards? Backwards right. So if I Hammer the pennies together. Would the wording not be backwards? It’s really common sense. It’s okay to make mistakes. It’s how we learn. Please take some time and read all about the minting process. It’s quite interesting and enjoyable if you are interested in coin collecting. There are lots of books and helpful websites. Plus you have ct to help you out! As long as you treat us right. So it’s a PMD coin only.
Take care.

 

TRUST the opinion of those with many years of experience.

Who can write a filter for these types of posts?

 

Oh yeah? Check out this one - it'll (w)rap more than a letter

 

Go to "your coin guy" and then come back and let us know. Thanks for sharing!

 

I do not condone violence and think that a moderator should remove your image. Please. It’s okay to joke but violence is not and should never be tolerated.
My opinion.

 

I have a few years under my belt. I learn something new on this site almost every day. I watched this site for a year before opening my pie hole.

 

@R_rabbit, are you referring to the sledge hammer explosion? I don't condone violence, either, but that image doesn't bother me in the least. To me, that image is humorous and an example of why men live, on average, almost a decade less than women . JMHO

@usmc 6123, I did the same thing.

Steve

 

Wouldn't it mean it's a strike through if the letter appear backwards? Good i thought so. This totally is not struck through .The letters dont even appear in the same spots theyd normally appear if the coin were semi transparent so you can see the normal struck through reversed lettering would not exsist especially in the wrong locations and non of you explain how the letters are on the edge .You are all so concerened with the im wrong youre right factor youre bypassing my honest questioning . Its all good. I understand its easier to point and laugh while avoiding logical peaceful honest questioning .
