Think about it: if you can sell coins, why not the American Historical Society of Central Islip, New York? For them, then, it was a marketing...
You have a brand new 2022-D shield zinc cent, with contact marks on both sides and soap spots. The reverse die rotation is minor, no added value...
How often? It happens all the time in every shield date so far (13 years). It’s a very common occurrence. Heck, save well struck coins all you...
…or it was a filled D (same as deteriorated die, the middle post of the mint mark on the die broke off resulting in every coin struck afterward...

NO. Not a cud nor a die crack. It is a scratch. @1stSgt22 …for your info.
..and being an (alleged) very thin layer that has peeled…the remnant left under IGWT. The missing (peeled) layer accentuates the perceived amount...
The Mysterious Case of the Wanabe Woodie. Yes, it would be smooth…the alloy is finished on the woodie. This is rough and striated = lamination...

@Spacecoins …a basic rule: when you change coins, start a new thread. The reason is: members see this post as “error pennies”. People who will...

Still out of focus, but it appears to be a heavy scrape or gouge on Lincoln’s forehead.
@Spacecoins …don’t get sidetracked. Provide an in focus picture of the 1968-S die crack first. Start a new post for the woodie.
Bad picture. Try again, get it in focus. Looks like a scuff or scrape, not a die crack.
None of the attachments are working.
…12 coins per second…
I wanted to point out some wear indicators. On the obverse, the rim separation line between the denticles is present from about 930K to 130K (...
Using the weight alone I would agree to the possibility. But with the condition of both sides, and no zinc showing, I am leaning toward doubtful.
There’s a pro and a con here on grease/debris filled dies: Pro: You would think the rims would also be affected by extreme heat in the same...
