Wow..... really nice coins you got there!

 

I have an off center penny that has no date. Also, I bought a roll of uncirculated 1979 Pennies and noticed that several of them there are darker areas. What could this be? One of them is a really light color.

 

Just a few of my favorites.

This one is the size of a quarter.






These 3 must have come from different dies as there is a die crack on the reverse of all 3 but in a different area on each one.

 

gasp~

Ok, Penny Lady. I can breath again. :bigeyes:

Those ROCK! Please don't go away, ok?

Thank you for letting me see such wonderful's.

Post ON ..& on......& on.....:smile

 

Nice errors, everyone, especially love those huge broadstruck ones Jorgy. And Matthew, that silver colored one might be a non-plated cent. Very neat coins.

But wait! I just bought one of the most amazing errors I've ever seen. This is just a teaser to stay tuned. I can't tell you what it is yet, but I will post photos soon. Todd is photographing it as we speak and I will post it on a new thread in a day or two
(no, Todd is sworn to secrecy so no trying to bribe it out of him!). I am sure you will all be WOWED as much as I was when I first saw it. So keep an eye out!!!!

 

I bet I know. Tell me if I'm wrong. Is this it?

 

Of course it is not. One of someone's fake coins.

 

lol

 

That top one with out a date can at least be narrowed down to a date after 1981. You can see that by the zinc under the top layer. I have gotten to a point where I can tell the date (+-) 3 to four years just by looking at the font, and color. Some years after awhile just stick out to me. try matching it up to other (Unc.-AU) pennies starting with 1982. You might be able to narrow it down further just by matching the font of "LIBERTY". try it, and good luck.dd:

 

ok, here is the link to my post on this new fantastic 11 cent error!

Worth the wait.

 

Latest Errors

The latest errors Ihave found are die cracks. One starts below the mallet and extends into the mallet head. The other is a die crack starting below the "R" in PLURIBUS and extends upwards into the boot. Are they true errors?

 

actually i saw somebody post a coin that had both of those errors on the same coin.

 

Really? I feel pretty good having found an error, let alone 2! What's the next step? get them attributed? I'm a probably the newest newbie doing this! LOL

 

well you are doing good for a newbie

 

Still pressing on, I found a couple more. One thru the mallet and the other between the"A" & "M" in America south to the top of the head. A few others I'm not sure how to catagorize them. Of course, there is a lot of toning in varying degrees. BTW, thanx for the vote of confidence!
