the latter is a jewelry piece worthless now the former you seem to have I inconsistency of the die on the reverse die break , if its real and match weight it might be workth a few 100 dollars im giving it a grade of very fine

 

The 1st one weighs 2.7 grams. Does that make sense?

We really need to see a focused picture of the first coin.

 

Could u elaborate on "focus" for me? Do u mean that I should take a larger photo of the die break area only?

The coin is not properly focused. It's blurry and lacks sharpness.

 

Ok.. I'll do a few more that way. Thanks so much for explaining it to me!

this looks like it may be a laminated panchet or struck thru coin but a photo of the obverse side would be helpful

Looks like damage...where there is a cavity on the reverse, there appears to be a corresponding bulge in the same area on the obverse.

 

I originally submitted these yesterday with both obverse & reverse photos. You r the second person to comment and I thank you but what do you mean by damage? The 1st person to comment was leaning toward a possible die break. Thanks again.

what you said makes sense but it's hard to say for about this one just from the photos. the obverse does look unusal.

 

Who do ppl send coins 2 to look them over? Although I would never throw the coin away, it would be so nice for someone to actually look at it while physically in front of them. Thanks!

noncents I went back and looked at all the photos and found out that the camera has just caused the place on the obverse to look swelled out. one photo shows the obverse side is normal , this is a real mint error IMO. probably a laminated piece has fallen out of the coin or it has been struck thru something.

 

Rascal, I am seeing the damage in every single picture of this coin. Note that the OP has posted 2 different coins in the thread...both 1941 cents (check pictures 3 and 4 in the first post, and you will see it's a different coin). Plus, the bulge corresponds pretty much exactly opposite the anomaly...too coincidental in my opinion. A detached lamination (or any other error for that matter) would not leave a bulge on the opposite side, as the planchet is confined to the space of the dies when it is struck and does not allow for the vertical expansion of the planchet that you can see in the photos.

 

Are u the same person that said "the obverse does look unusual?" I don't see ur name.

oops I didn't realize there was photos of two coins. the coin in question still looks ok to me . I believe the planchet may have had damage before it was struck. looks like the bottom part of lincoln didn't get filled in very well because of whatever damage was on the reverse side. probably a mint error but not worth hundreds like someone else said.

 

That's good. As long as it isn't post mint damage.
