It is either machine doubling or a hit at just the right spot. This type of doubling can often be found on LHC's from 1959 through 1964, but is...
For the most part these were all very minor within the windows. Minor enough to be excruciatingly painful to discern. If every one had doubling...
The U.S. Mint is also partially to blame for this phenomenon with minor errors. It started in 2009 with the Lincoln Cents. With over 100 listed...
Yes, there are trolls and yes, that book made a big deal out of very little. But in the end are we all not free to collect whatever we want. It is...
Yes, considered an error but again, from an over used die that should have been retired. They are quite common to most of us that have searched...
Slightly misaligned and from a deteriorated die but not an error really.
Would this not fall into the same category as the scrap pieces I purchased and posted about that were supposed to be destroyed by a sub contractor...
Probably post a photo here and let the experts decide plus probably invite Fred Weinberg & Insider to join in on the conversation.
I would write but I won't. Because the Mint would likely make various types of these at an inflated purchase price. B.U., Burnished, Proof,...
And your opinion is quite correct about "contact corrosion" Jim. My 1982 cents were stored in less than ideal conditions way back, in my cellar...
I would assume, under the right conditions, like moisture present, that organic matter would eventually migrate. I can tell you for certain that...
www.briansvarietycoins.com Lots of RPM's. Owned by Brian Ribar who specializes in these.
Certainly looks like it to me. Nice find.
Open a can of edited on them next time.;)
@Nolan Workman might be able to give some insight on this?
A few years ago I picked up a few of the Cheerios cents in their packaging at a flea market for 50 cents each. They looked really nice from the...
If you find a bunch of 1919's, they might be ones I threw back into the system. They were all uglies I had since I was a kid and got on my paper...
I could be wrong but it does not take much, just a pin prick through the plating, to start the process of it pushing out under the right...
We playfully call these Zincolns. Zinc rot is a dreaded disease for cents, so always make sure to keep them separated from any other coins.
I would have to agree. These coins are often tumbled in dirt to age them and this can also hide casting bubbles.
Separate names with a comma.
