OneRedCent New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 08/25/2025 1:40 pm I am only a couple of years into coin collecting and this is the nicest Wheat penny I have come across. It's so pretty! What is the error on the edges? Where it looks like it's clumpy and not smooth (specifically on the rotated pic, near the date). I also think there is doubling and the 9 looks weird. This was in a loomis roll of 2023 d pennies. Is this something I should have graded? Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 103748 Posts	Posted 08/25/2025 1:50 pm to CCF. could be a bit of a lamination by the date. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

A lot of people lose a lot of money b/c of that. Use the following to understand the companies better and not lose money to them (like so very many people do). https://www.coincommunity.com/colle...t-graded.asp ___________________________ Better pics needed: EASILY force your camera to focus properly on the coin. Not taking the time to read the steps and understand them will guarantee failure ___________________________ Anytime you think you have a doubled die., go to varietyvista.com and find an EXACT match. If you do not find an EXACT match (every picture per entry shown must match), then you have a non-collectible form of cdoubling like Machine Doubling or Die Deterioration Doubling.

I will go to a local coin shop and see if I can get clearer pictures and post those. Thank you for the polite responses..they are encouraging to someone new to the game. Report this Post to the Staff
