Message:: [QUOTE="huntsman53, post: 62152, member: 1242"]GDJMSP, Thanks! It sure has been a log time in coming with many disappointments! Even in it's condition, the coin is a significant find for me. Before finding this coin, I never realized that they were even made much less that they apparently span from 1941 to 1945 with the earlier ones being the most rare. What is worse, is that in the past I have had some thick planchet cents in some of those years and to think that I may have sold them, not knowing that they may be one of these rare Variety Cents, almost makes me sick! As far as the damage or Struck Thru Errors, I have viewed them with a 20x to 60x lighted Magnifier and believe that there are legitimate Struck Thru Errors from Lincoln's forehead hairline Northeast to the "R" then Northwest to the "T" in "TRUST" and also another one extending from in front of Lincoln's vest Northeast through and beyond the first "4" in the Date. The area on the back of Lincoln's head is still questionable as while it also looks like a Struck Thru Error there is some folding away from the area which would normally indicate a gouge and not a Struck Thru Error.
