becardw3 Valued Member United States 102 Posts	Posted 11/10/2013 03:36 am These are some of the cents I have pulled from circulation. Lots of pictures but not sure where to begin. Quality is as good as I can get right now. 1. Is this a strike through? 2. Defective Planchet? 3. Weak strike? 4. Another weak strike? or just wear? it is only weak in these two spots, the rest of the coin is not worn. (both images are the same coin) 5. The loop on the 9 looks like it ends in a square. Thoughts? 6. Machine Doubling on the 5? 7. This coin looks like the planchet was scraped before it was punched. The scrape runs through the lincoln memorial. well not through but behind. You can see it between some of the pillars but it does not affect the memorial building at all. 8. Repunched or doubled mintmark? 9. Repunched or doubled mintmark? 10. Repunched or doubled mintmark? 11. Repunched or doubled mintmark? If you can answer any of my questions, I will appreciate that very much. Report this Post to the Staff

ErrorCoins222 Pillar of the Community United States 1699 Posts	Posted 11/11/2013 2:07 pm 1. It does look like a small struck through error. 2. This is a struck on an incomplete planchet error. More specifically, a ragged clip. 3. Looks to be extreme die polish, but the photo is too distorted to tell for sure. 4. Struck Through Grease, as the others have mentioned. 7. I agree with feeder finger damange. Report this Post to the Staff

becardw3 Valued Member United States 102 Posts	Posted 11/12/2013 03:00 am @John1 #2 I pulled the '59 out of a box of cents along with enough pennies to make 21 BU rolls (mint state) of 1959 cents. The rest of the cent is, or was pristine. at least before I've touched it some. #6 looks like there is doubling on the very tip of the 5. Ill try to get a better picture. @ErrorCoins222 Thank you for clearing this up for me. Are any of them worth anything at all? @larrytw thanks for your opinions. and the last picture still makes me laugh every time I see it. "Made 5 minutes ago" haha. but I do not agree on the last one gouge is fairly deep and there is no damage to the rim of the coin at all. I'll try for better pictures Report this Post to the Staff
