Interesting, I've seen lots of references to dipped but I've never figured out what it means. Does that mean dropping it into acetone or...
No worries, I would not be surprised if this was ultimately the case. Is there a better angle or more pictures of the rim elsewhere that would...
lol, ok. Well I suppose I cut my $6 roll of wheat cost down to $5.84. Luckily I'm planning for this hobby to need funding instead of acting as...
Did the steel pennies themselves drop in value as well or just the reprocessed sets?
Yeah, I should rephrase the incredible luck as unexpected luck. Apparently entirely credible given the numbers. :) The good condition was what...
Wow, glad I got second opinions. That'll teach me to pre-judge coins. :) Thanks guys!
Hey all this steel showed up in a roll of wheats I went through a couple days ago. I thought it was incredible luck but after seeing this thread...

Well, I just sent her all of my already searched wheat cents. :D But I'm thinking that's probably not a great gift. Good idea, I'll have a look...

no biggie if it's too much trouble. I think there's enough evidence (at least for me) to say that looks like a planchet error and not PMD. Others...
The red No Politics message was a Moderator edit.
I think it's a reversed 9. You can see where the top curve (inner part of the 9) ends before the edge of the rim, and a small indent below it...
Hmm, looks like rim distortion on opposite side, but hard to tell if it's Blakesley effect compared to the references I'm seeing online. The...
Hmm, interesting. I wonder if that's a ragged clip? http://www.error-ref.com/ragged-clips/
Sorry about that, I confused the conversation by adding in a spoon reference. My apologies - your coin is not a spooned coin.
Maybe it's the inverted S mintmark? http://varietyvista.com/06 Mercury Dime/1945SIMM001.htm Edit: Hmm, which I just now realized that Danomite...
