    Cheryl:
    I'd e-mail Mike Diamond (a member here) first.
    He'll be able to id the error.
    Hard to see from the pictures, but it MAY be a struck thru cloth.
    If so, most likely very scarce (if not, dare I say it, rare).

    Good luck.

    Although it is really hard to tell what's up with the 1984-S Proof Cent due to the small pictures, I would guess that it was not Struck Thru but actually the Orange Peel texture seen quite often on Proof Cents! I am not sure of the actual cause of the Orange Peel texture but suspect a bad Copper Plating job. However, the Zinc planchet may have been improperly prepared before the Copper plating was applied.

    I'm not sure what's going on with the proof cent. The photos are too poor. It could be discolored, which is not that uncommon for proofs. These are often termed "impaired proofs", and their value is nil. Then again, it could be a strike-through error of some kind or a plating defect.

    Did you Look At the 1984 Penny?

    It looks like an ordinary coin struck with dies that suffered excessive die polishing.

    Is that good or bad?

    Does It take away from the value of the Proof Set?
    I have Pcgs In Austin, texas where I live and want them to look at it.

    The coin is not worth what it would cost to have PCGS look at it. You would be basically throwing the money away.
