i bought a box of the 2017 -p cents hopping to make money in the future i open one roll i find 4 cents there is some thing in front of mr. lincoln face it look like a spit i wonder if it is an error so what you guys think let me know if i find is worth the excitement
Very interesting. Looks like a defective Planchet. Can you please post the other 3 Cents you found. Thanks for sharing.
Now that you've posted all 3, it looks more like a "Strike Through" error. Interesting progression. You should keep them together as a set
That's an interesting question. I think that a single strike through error like this wouldn't be worth much of a premium (less than $1) and outside of ebay, it would be hard to sell. However, having multiple examples of a strike through, show it's progression, may have additional value, especially since the are Unc. Maybe @paddyman98 could provide some insight. The question you need to answer is: Do you think the value of the 2017-P will be worth more than the errors? In my opinion, I don't think unopened rolls of 2017-P are going to be worth much in the future because so many people are saving them now. There have been a few threads on CT about the future value of these with strong opinions on both sides. I would wait until someone with more experience in the error market can tell you if these have additional value as a set and give you an estimate of what that value is.
I think it depends on the Mint Error collector. Some don't care for a minor issue as a Strike Through. But then there are collectors like myself who loves these type of issues. I would like to own a couple of Cents showing the progression of a Strike Thru!
Those marks are possibly from feeder finger scrapes on the die. I've seen this effect/look on numerous State Quarters - the feeder fingers sometimes overextend, scraping the actual die as they go forward with a planchet, or retract afterward. If so, then the damage occurred this way: (three coin photos) #2, #3, #1, & then the Orig. Photo posted.
thanks mr. paddyman you made the first grader very happy do u think is it worth effort to have them graded thanks again
You mean attributed, not graded. Not really. But please read the response that Fred Weinberg posted. He knows better at what the issue is.
It sounds like the errors are interesting, but not potentially valuable. I hope the information was helpful
No matter what caused them, the coins are NOT worth slabbing whatsoever, unless you really want them certified for your collection only. You will loose about 75% ++ of what you pay to have them certified, imo.
I like them and thank you for sharing with us. As far as the rest of them go, it would be interesting if you can find any further progression on these and possibly assemble a nice set for your personal enjoyment. But take Fred's advice on not having them graded. I have had a similar experience with a roll of memorial cents. There were six in a roll that exhibited a die clash progression across the inside of the memorial bays. Not worth a lot but an interesting find.
