@justyn p …I apologize if I seemed a bit harsh, but imagine my dismay when I, and other forum members, see repetitive posts of corroded, damaged...
You should know this by now. The hair is die deterioration. The rest is corrosion and damage. This is what you end up with…for goodness...
Looks to be VG8 or so…NGC lists this grade and date at $215 USD. Take a bit back for the damaged N/ONE and you made out very well…best guess is...
MS60 at best. Too many device and field flaws for higher.
Spend it. The advanced level of circulation damage disqualifies it for any value beyond face value.
Probably a die crack. If you can have die chips between the B and E to make a “BIE”, it follows your die crack can be too. I ruled out a die...

I voted MS65RD.
Keep in mind Veterans charity orgs…like Wounded Warriors or the DAV. Scrape together 4,999 more of those and donate to a honorable cause. It’s...

@SensibleSal66 …look again…it is a penny from Great Britain.
@justyn p …well, you confused us twice. First, posting the coin in the Error Coins Forum is suggesting it is an error. Second, saying it is an...
Justyn, if you understood the minting process, how dies are made and the true errors and how they are created, you would understand why your coin...
As do I. And, to clarify, I was talking business strikes from pocket change and from wrapped rolls, not mint sets or proofs.
@Inspector43 …I recently went through 2 rolls of 2017-P cents. My goal was to remove any that had evidence of die deterioration, split-plating,...
It took a decade or longer for contractors to produce some decent copper-plated zinc blanks. The Mint used both good and bad and fed them into...
The one on the right is just more circulated..a little more worn and some latent grime. The left one is damaged…machine wrapper scoring.
@Fred Weinberg …Congratulations on your retirement, Fred. I can say that in the 4 years I’ve been a member here, there have been about 30 top...
