Hey guys I just found this 1920 wheat cent in an old album I purchased a while ago and I never looked at the reverse until now, and it definitely has something weird going on. Just wondering what kind of error it would be and how rare this kind of error is?
Looks like a lamination that has folded over on the coin obliterating the RI in pluribus. This happened after striking and was worn in due to circulation. After all, the cent had some value back then and nobody would stop using it because of a flaw (if anyone even noticed it, people don't really look at their money).
I agree with folded over Lamination Error. A planchet flaw. From the wear on Abe's cheek and jaw your coin saw many years of circulation. Not uncommon to find a worn error coin from the early years. Yours is a very nice specimen.
