Not a Mint error. It's a 1902 common date Indian Head Cent that's suffering from damage. A nice find in a roll.

Connie if you crop your first 4 photo's they will be much larger and may be able to see more.

 

It would appear this 1902 Indian cent has spent considerable time in the ground or similar environment. It has acquired a crusty patina which mimics the original design, fooling the eye into seeing a second wreath and other features. It's main value is the considerable sentimental value of how it came to you. Enjoy going through the rest of your treasure!

 

Thank u sir very much....I would have thought the same thing if I didn't know where it came from but honestly it be hard for me to say this coin ever hit the elements... It wssfrom a inheritance and they worked at a federal bank and it was in a 1915 paperwrapped roll that I know been put up since at least 1920

 

Show us some of the other coins from the roll? Cool stuff in those old wrappers.

 

It's not important how long the coin has been put away. The condition of the coin now is what matters. It is just a damaged coin and there is no way to fix that. It has had a tough life. It should look like this to have any collector value.

 

Or post a picture of the rolls so we can try to put a date or bank name to them

 

I threw the bank wrapper away but I can tell u what and where it was from what year..... 1918 bank roll from the reserve bank of Chicago.....

 

I'm going to put up some more picture of other coins in there I think 2 more are errors anyway...I'll be posting them as I get time

 

Looking forward to seeing them

 

I got a 1915 out of it to it was probably Au50 on the low end I think it's probably me ......u see this one it came from a different roll ...

 

What are we looking at here? Appears to be a regular circulated cent.

 

Heres a 1906 Indian penny Head

 

I thinks 3 1/6 ×5 1/6 lamination error but I could be wrong.
It weights 2.78 grams

 

What coin do you see a lamination on?

 

We are not doubting that it has been in that roll since 1915 or 1920. But in the 13 to 18 years between 1902 and 1915 or 1920 there was plenty of time for the coin to have been exposed to the ground, to water, to acid, or to a number of different elements. It may have already been in that condition when the bank put it into the roll (they would not have been concerned with its condition) or chemicals already on its surface may have caused further reactions during the decades it sat in the roll until you found it, even if the roll itself were kept in ideal storage conditions. Certainly the coin was not originally put in the roll in high grade because, even without the corrosion, there is plenty of wear. Therefore, it had already led something of a rough life in its time in circulation.

 

on the Indian Head it looks like it has a lamiition error

 

on the 1906 head of Indian

 

Are all those pictures of the same 1906 Indian Head Cent (IHC)? I don't really see a lamination.
