<p>[QUOTE=&quot;paddyman98, post: 26168033, member: 44615&quot;]Oh boy, Welcome to CoinTalk</p><p><br /></p><p>Your 1951 Cent has no mint errors of any kind. It&#039;s a hot mess <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately, your Cent is all circulation wear, damage and surface alteration.</p><p>There is also a bit of Die Deterioration doubling considered worthless doubling and has absolutely nothing to do with a true Doubled Die Varity.</p><p><br /></p><p>The letter T is damaged.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, you don&#039;t say double died. The proper terminology is <b>Doubled Die</b>.</p><p>Double died would mean it died 2 times <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie40" alt=":dead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie40" alt=":dead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>What do you mean by the weight is correct? Are you using a food scale or a gram scale? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>That stuff on the reverse looks added so it should make the Cent a bit heavier. That&#039;s why a gram scale is needed to weigh coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>You stated you are new to collecting. It takes time to understand the difference between true mint errors and damaged/altered coins.</p><p>I and many others are here to help you through the process.</p><p>I have been collecting, studying and attributing true mint errors for 38+ years now. So have many of the other members.</p><p><br /></p><p>Keep this in mind, not everything that looks different, weird or strange is automatically a mint error. Your Cent is a good example of something that might look like it has errors, but it does not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
