I'll call these PMD, to placate the "masses". 1945-46 wheat pennies

    1. Possible strike-through, but more likely damage, would want to see obverse

    2. Corrosion, possibly of improperly-mixed alloy

    3. Corrosion, circulation/impact damage

    4. Probable lamination, circulation/impact damage

    5. Corrosion, heavy damage

    6. Heavy damage, possible corrosion

    What exactly do you imagine happened in the minting process to produce whatever feature it is that's caught your eye?

    Signed,

    A Mass

    It would not matter what the cause of stuff like this is. They have no value.

    So. It has to be worth what sum to post? You people are something else.
    Greedy and envious.

    I'm sorry. My answer was short and to the point. Jeff gave you a great answer to each coin.

    To most here, the value is in the significance of the coin appropriate to the "Error Coins" column this thread was initiated within by yourself. Monetary value if someone deemed to give it would be mostly face, but the minor lamination might be worth something to a beginner. I suspect there are no envious answers in the thread directed towards you, Jim

    No greed, just straightforward honest answers. All are damaged but the 1945 also has a very nice lamination. Some would even refer it to the assignation shot, morbid as that would be.

    #1 looks like it's headed a "little bit" in this direction.

    The undamaged end of the upper arm in the E of ONE that lies over the "damage" bothers me. But the big guns so decreed I guess.

    There is a very small die chip on the N in UNITED. It looks like UNUM is inside the indentation and it appears backwards.

    Some of you should REALLY take a look at these:

    ...and here is another good source of education:

    @i2i- I really like that Liberty Nickel. Is it yours?

    Really though. You people are criticizing a published micro/molecular scientist with profound skill under the microscope. I've identified microscopic mutations NEVER identified previously. My deductive reasoning and logic is unmatched.
    I've accomplished more than anyone critical of me!
    I'm one of a few here, if any, who are PROVEN.
    The fact that some take coin collecting WAY to seriously is sad. It's important because of what? Greed? Childish jealousy? Lack of accomplishment in life?
    I'm not conceded. Its contempt I feel for these people.
    Obviously, I observe, discern, and deduce more in a coin than they could dream. THIS is a microcosm of life. It's not a life I'd want to live. They criticize because they are naive and ignorant in many many ways.

    @i2i- So again, is that Liberty Nickel yours?

    Thanks for the complements. I can see you are truly in a class by yourself and none of us greedy dullards who take coin collecting too seriously can ever come close to your magnificent intelligence.

    Well, then. When we come across a genetic anomaly on a coin that produces a visible change in the coin's phenotype, we'll be sure to turn to you first.

    As a "published" "scientist", I would have hoped that you'd be more cautious about jumping to conclusions without even a cursory search for evidence. There are more than a few folks here with PhDs in the sciences. (Mine isn't in a real science; "computer science" is a weird hybrid of engineering, science, math, and philosophy. But I'd wager that it's no less relevant to numismatics than your experience.)

    Have you tried posting on other forums? Maybe they would be more appreciative of your self proclaimed logic and deductive reasoning skills.

    I will give you credit for taking nice pics.

    Really when it comes to coins how many other sub fields can we have further than the study of circulation on the surfaces of coins.

    I can't compete on the atom level.

    Nice photos @i2i
    They are as have been described.
