Sorry for multiple coins in one post just don't want to spam the boards with worthless coins 1. 1986-d I'm almost positive this is Just pmd, but I would just like to make sure. Has a hole right thru the middle. 2. 1951-S Is this what's called a minor "lamination peel"? 3. 1946-S It has a weird look to it as if the mintmark "slid" into place. It also seems that the loop of the 9 is on top unharmed. 4. 1956 Multi colored looks as if someone took a few crayons to it Haha. However I tried to scrape it but nothing came off. Again sorry for multiple coins, I have a ton of coins I have questions about and this forum has been a great help so far. Thank you!
I have soft spot I have soft spot for Lincolns from this period. From 1944~47 there are rumors of different compounds used to make the cents. The "S" looks most interesting.
#1 I am pretty sure is a drop of acid #2 Is a lamination as you say #3 I also a lamination that pealed before the strike #4 Who knows
Ahh well I'm glad you guys think they are interesting. I thought maybe people were getting discouraged because everything I've posted so far turned up to be nothing I have about 10 or more mainly 1957s with cuds on the dates. But I did some research and found its quite common and they aren't worth much Ill show you this 1956 cud, thought it was kinda cool. Never seen a cud in this place.
Those are neat! I keep all the oddball ones I find while searching rolls or hoards. After all they only cost you one cent.:smile
i keep all the odd ones i find also. cents in general are becoming one of my favorite things to collect at the moment.
Thanks! Its kinda funny, I only have about 400 wheats that I got from my dads collection when he was a kid and each time I look at them again I find more weird ones. So obviously I'm going to hold onto the last three, any idea what the 1986 one is with the hole? Necklace anyone?
Unless someone was using it for a target for a very small projectile I would guess it was a bubble in the zinc layer of the planchet or a large lamination problem. It appears to be layered along the reverse inner cavity.
