PACs Coins New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 06/22/2019 3:01 pm Hello, I am assisting my aunt go through my uncles large collection of coins specifically US cents. I am new to coins but trying to learn about the different kinds of errors, my uncle labeled his "oddities" within numerous rolls. I have seen hundreds of die chip errors, blobs, Strike Doubling, damage, lamination, and numerous others which I am having trouble categorizing or identifying. Hoping this forum can help, first is a 1967 with what looks like a divot under the date, possibly a planchet or laminating error? Second 1946 with what appears to be PMD on the front but interesting "puddling" on the reverse. Any thoughts? Thanks, Dave Report this Post to the Staff

Second, it sounds like you are having fun going through these coins looking at the various mint errors. For the second coin that you posted (the '46D), I think that whoever made those wide gouges on the front of the coin (perhaps with a hammer and chisel or flathead screwdriver), "smushed" the metal on the back. Subsequently, this extra metal was flattened out on the reverse leaving what appears to be those puddles of metal.

PACs Coins New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 06/22/2019 9:25 pm Thank you Spence and E&V for your responses. I don't doubt what ever caused the obverse damage on the 46 caused some of the puddling on the reverse, however I noticed the "puddling" in an area where no damage existed on the reverse, could this be possible?

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/22/2019 10:03 pm As mentioned the first coin is an over polishing issue to remove clash lines, but also MD on the '6'. The other is PSD. (Post-Strike-Damage) No premium for either coin. The 1946 is a Wheat cent. The 1967 is a spender. Report this Post to the Staff
