You could show us 100 damaged 1977 cents, but it would not change anything. Your coins are not mint errors. This is obvious to anyone with any...
There may be a small die chip on the mintmark in addition to the wear and tear. This would account for it being somewhat raised.
A coin cannot leave the dies looking like that. The dies being parallel to each other a coin struck by them has to be flat. There very well may...
No, not worth having graded. Nice enough to put in coin holders to protect them, but worth little if any over face value.
That coin is damaged, nothing more.
You need to look at more knowledgeable sources. All cents produced from 1962 to early 1982 were made from 95% copper 5% zinc. Brass is an alloy...
Cents were bronze until 1962 when the tin was removed from the composition. From 1962 until the switch to copper coated zinc they were brass.
Yup, brass.
Just ground [past tense of grind] down. It really does make you wonder why so many coins end up like this.
Most likely copper, it has some pretty deep gouges that would probably show zinc if it wasn't copper.
If it is steel it should be obvious, you did state copper.
Either wear or corrosion could decrease the weight.
What exactly are you seeing on the reverse that looks like an error?
That coin is very clearly just damaged. You can take it to a coin dealer if you want, but it would be a waste of your time. There are very...
You may be correct, the spacing of the O and N in ONE look farther apart on yours, but could be the corrosion making it look different. I...
Not seeing anything myself.
That is going to be tough in that condition. So much depends on the position of the letters in relation to each other, and that is just not...
It wouldn't be zinc rot on a wheat cent. Definitely agree on the glue, paint, goop or whatever on the obverse. Might be a spot of corrosion on...
First, welcome to the forum. Looks like a blob of solder on the reverse, I also see some environmental damage. Where do you see the doubling?
No just a regular cent that has had most of the copper coating removed. Color is hard to see, but looks like there is at least some copper.
