Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4404 Posts	Posted 02/15/2019 9:42 pm The 1917-S is definitely damage. Are you able to weigh the 1946-S? It could be a tapered planchet but we'd need an accurate weight to know for sure. Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 02/16/2019 03:28 am with the above. on the weight. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020 In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020 In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024 Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/16/2019 05:06 am The 46-s might be a Grease Filled Die. The 17-s is PMD. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Coinblind2 Valued Member United States 65 Posts	Posted 02/17/2019 7:32 pm I bought a cheap scale from harbor freight and posted a pic Edited by Coinblind2 02/17/2019 8:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74533 Posts	Posted 02/17/2019 7:56 pm To CCF! Try weighing it again. The correct weight is supposed to be 3.1 grams. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4404 Posts	Posted 02/17/2019 8:21 pm A normal Wheat cent should be 3.1g. A Wheat cent with a tapered planchet should be under 3g. 3.3g is the opposite of what I expected. Try weighing other wheat cents to see if the scale is accurate (3.1g is normal).

Coinblind2 Valued Member United States 65 Posts	Posted 02/17/2019 8:59 pm Ok ,put 3 other wheat cents on scale, all showed 3.1, put 1946 back on , 3.1 Report this Post to the Staff
Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4404 Posts	Posted 02/17/2019 9:03 pm Alright, great. Since the weight is normal, it is not a tapered planchet. It is probably a strike through error, possibly grease. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinblind2 Valued Member United States 65 Posts	Posted 02/17/2019 9:28 pm Ok, thanks for the info, greatly appreciated Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/17/2019 9:35 pm So the weight is normal. So it is a mild Struck Through Grease error. Report this Post to the Staff
Jlam79 Valued Member United States 264 Posts	Posted 02/17/2019 11:41 pm I don't like the person that tried to shear the 17 S. Good luck with the 46. The word TRUST looks weak also. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinblind2 Valued Member United States 65 Posts	Posted 02/18/2019 12:14 am Yea it's a shame about the 17,looks like it was done long ago but cannot be un-done.when you look at the cuts they don't line up like someone tried to use cutters on it.
