 to CCF!The cent is a damaged coin, and the Dime appears to be an off center strike. Very nice |

your cent in my opinion IS NOT damaged..appears to be a damaged planchet before strike..note the weak strike opposite to the planchet damage..this is a result of a lack of pressure during the strike due to a lack of metal.

please keep the cent away from the elements..something secure, dry and airtight..the zinc exposed on it can begin rotting quite easily and it will be ruined.
Feel free to call me Will.

I think I agree with dollarman. The copper/zinc line runs through the shield corner and "OF" but the details don't seem to be affected. Could the planchet have been punched near the edge of a sheet where the plating ended and the metal thinned?

I concur. Both are errors. The cent is very nice. While I am out of touch with the prices of this type of error, it would definitely be worth selling.

I'm still waiting to see what it looks like up close first, before I give an answer.

The opposite sides also would be a great help. I can tell it the plating changes color slowly or not. A closer image would be extremely helpful. Try using a magnifier to help us a bit more.

The cent is struck on a partially plated cent due to pre-strike damage. Otherwise you could describe it as being struck on a damaged planchet. The error itself isn't that impressive, but the host coin is. While errors of this date are relatively uncommon, there seem to be quite a few minor errors like this. I have seen maybe 5 shield cents with similar issues sell on ebay; unfortunately I don't remember what they sold for. Your best bet will be to list it on ebay with an accurate title, in the correct category, to get the best price. |
