1943 LWC Steel - Need Identification Of Error Bumps

Kloccwork419, I say this calmly..... may I suggest that you just let this post go and stop replying to it. We obviously have heard your point. We just don`t agree. Plus calling someone a liar is a weakend position to take.

With that said, if you have ever sent a error coin to PCGS, you would know how much it costs. And because these have been cleaned, I wouldnt get a grade or worth.

Thats why this post is still going. Thats why there is over 1,000 views. Because others are interested. And I myself beleive that these are some form of legitimate errors based on others that I am communicating with that do not prescribe to this Community.

I beleive that there is enough photos posted, that even someone new to Coin Collecting can see, that these are not plated and us cleaning them couldnt possibly have created these bumps.

I would encourage anyone new jumping in to review previous posts so we are not rehashing details. Ty.

This is a puzzle or a welcomed challenge. And I have learned alot more about error coins since starting this endeavor.

I've only read the first and last page of this thread. What you'd need to find is a steel cent with these raised imperfections which has not been monkeyed with (reprocessed or de-plated). In the absence of such specimens, I would have to assume that these imperfections are a form of post-strike damage.

Thanks John1 for the push. I would have respected your`s or Coop`s opinion in the first place.

Take care all!

I hope this doesn't make things more weird. As we went through a bunch more under 10x, I found another cent that sorta matches a cent that was found early on. Just shifted abit.

The shinier one is the first photo I posted and went through our cleaning process. The second one we just found was only cleaned with lemon juice and salt.

Allthough this error doesn't match specifically with the "bumps", could it have been the before or after result?

Thanks

Good day all. I`ve been checking in on this post and it seems to have gone quiet. I thought the "uncleaned with error" pics was what Mike and probably everyone wanted to see?

It would be very nice to get a sense of direction from the pro`s regarding this entire topic. Even if it means there is no answer. I`m still eagerly awaiting Mike's expert opinion.

Thank you much!

I think we're done now.

I respectfully ask that you read Mikes post again.

He put in brackets what he means by "monkeyed with", (reprocessed or de-plated), which means replated or deplated at any point, this would then have to be proven by certification.

He is not implying cleaned, whizzed, buffed or any other process that might improve the appearance of the coin.
