Hello all...got a weird wheat penny here today. It is a 1936 with all the proper details front and back...but it is the size and thickness of a dime. It is copper...what type of error is this? I tried to research it but could n ot find anything exactly like it. Many thanks for any info Talked to a local coin dealer...thought it was struck on a foreign planchet...did more research, thought maybe it was a thin planchet...but the thickness is uniform accross the surface...this is driving me nuts!!! Somebody help me sleep............please!
If it's perfectly centered and the design elements are complete and uniformly fuzzy, then it's an "acid job" and not a mint error.
I have a wheat cent with the same type of error except its a 1954D or 1954S. Mint mark is hard to tell. Anyways it is thin, it is thiner then a dime. To me it seems like it hasnt been tampered with since theres no scratches on it and all the details are visibile. Also wanted to know is this some type of error. I'll seen the picture once i fix my scanner. Ill try to seen it as soon as i can.
If I remember well without having the Krause catalog in my hands now, there is an error 1944 D/S, where D is minted over S and the year is 1944, not 1945. So I think that if you have a D/S error on 1945 cent, you have an Unlisted coin.
