This penny's reverse is apparently struck over different series or probably foreign struck. I could not figure it out but definitely, something is there! Can you please help me to find out what is it exactly? Of course, I appreciate comments about obverse too.
Teran is it. Cool name. On that note , I'm just seeing a lot of ummm.... Staining . I'm lost as to what your seeing . Maybe it's me ?
I'm not certain but I'm going to go out on a limb and say no to a incorrect or foreign planchet. The weight is good for a CuSnZn cent and the diameter seems . . . well . . within tolerances. From what I know and can find, a 1975 cent should weight 3.11 grams, and have a diameter of 19 millimeters. In any case, were I in possession of that Lincoln cent, I'd keep it just because I am not entirely certain and because it looks neat! And because I'm generally OCD about such things.
Maybe you're seeing something, Teran. But I'm not seeing anything either. Your photos will not permit us to see what you're seeing in real life!
You're just seeing staining from environmental damage. Copper is a reactive metal and will interact with lots of stuff after it leaves the mint. It IS NOT an error of any kind To paraphrase the 14th Century philosopher, William of Ockham, the simplest explanation is usually to correct explanation. If you're going to look for errors in circulation, don't over think things
It's very difficult to see but this is a form of NAV, no added value doubling as the Die was extremely worn when this Cent was minted.
Yes, I was thinking that it could be some kind of doubling, but there are some other marks in different places of the coin, like around (ONE CENT).
You have to go to the doctor. Most of the coins that I posted so far are valuable ones but you can not see them. You have problems.
You're full of it! > "small over large date" > "one cent with D or what" > "large and small 9s" > "1817 Trade Dollar" > "1964D Error Cone" > "Sacagawea Dollar Coin Cheerio" > "1978D/Ear Cent" > "1974D Eisenhower" You're trying to tell me that these are all valuable coins? You've got too many screws loose! Give it up!
