The back shows it better I picked up too much flash on the front, but should get the general idea?

Figured while I was taking pics I'd take the 3rd one as well. Now that I see an enlarged view of this penny it does appear that the one might have been lopped off during it's travels?  |

Your cookie also looks like a dropped acid..
1938 is an interesting one. A closer view of the date area might reveal what happened to it. Some years a part of a hub (That forms a die) have devices that have chipped off. The 1936 had a die that the "R" left foot had chipped off. The 1956 had hub that the lower part of the 6 had chipped away. But I've not heard of this year affected that way yet. So a close up might show what happened to the die or to the coin?

awww poor cookie... These coins are having waaay more fun than I am right now;) Here is a closer look at that date on the 38 - still not sure myself and those vertical scratches I hadn't noticed at all until I pulled up the picture for the last post:( It's crazy what you can see in a photo what you can't even under a loop sometimes...  Let me know if you need a closer image and I'll see what I can do. |

That does look like a chipped hub. The area looks untouched with the devices not touched. Do you mind if I add that image to my image library? I might need it another time and to share with other collectors.

Hi All,
I hope I am doing this right. While I have looked through a variety of your posts over the past couple of years when searching for coin answers I have always seemed to find the answer within a topic or previous posting; never having felt the need to register or post a question. To that, I say thank you all! There are a number of reference books that you could also buy. The Red BookStrike it Rich with pocket change CherryPickers Guide |

Oh boOOooOoy Coop, now I'll have to go look through all my 36's and 56's. Good thing I sorted them, but man there are a lot of them! It's going to take a while; maybe my tomorrow project:)
When I sorted them last week I did so by date and mint only and bagged them accordingly. Picked out these 3 that were obvious when I was quick checking the dates and mints. Figured I'd look more closely at each at another time as I do find errors fascinating. I can't help but think sometimes when I see a post for some of them "Really? How the heck did you see/find that!?" and "is THAT really a thing?"
I had some years/mint that I had loads of and for fun threw a buck or two out into circulation along with a few dollars worth of worn off date buffalo's. I don't know, thinking maybe I'd make someones day when/ if they got one in their change or maybe start a kid collecting. LOL, maybe I should have checked them more closely first!=o)

And... Sure Coop, by all means you may use the photo; in the mean time I'll note mine as a possible chipped hub. Thanks!

Here are the edited images of your 1938. You might want to copy them.   They are a premium coin, but interesting for markers for varieties. The help ID a die if needed. 1936:  1956: Ignore the BIE on the right with the arrow. The bottom of the "6" is where you can see the hub chip.  Again there is not a premium for these, just a marker. |

Collector- Corner, I can only see the faint last 4 when I pitch the coin just right from the side, 1944.
