SPP, those 2 1975 pennies with the funky rims, what is this called? I have seen this in a few pennies I have gone through, unfortunately none in as good a condition as your examples.
Are these worth much?

Regarding the 1975 1-cent coins: coin on the left is a specimen strike on a noticeably thicker (and heavier) planchet (I don't think it is a foreign planchet, but it is prior to the Winnipeg plant opening). Coin on the right is a normal specimen cent.

I recently had a 2006 Enamel Flag Silver Dollar where the enamel on the flags had come off. I know very little about the enameling process the Mint uses, while its not a typical error (e.g. striking error), I do consider this a Mint error and not PMD. The enamel itself wasn't damaged, chipped, or cracked -- simply detached from the coin and floating in the capsule. Not that I think that makes it more valuable either. I don't consider errors like that to be collectible. Regardless, I was able to sell it as a novelty for a decent price. |

this one is now in my possession and will be for a looooong time, this is the sellers picture. it is in an ICCS PL-64 holder, ICCS labeled it as a planchet flaw but SPP-Ottawa says it is a strike through and I couldn't agree more  Feel free to call me Will.

It would even be nicer, if it were not inside that plastic prison... a good Lighthouse square hard holder would be nicer...

I suppose this would be the grand daddy of them all... a 1977 $100 gold coin struck on a nickel 50c planchet. I saw one of these in Sandy Campbell's display case at Coin Expo (photo is from PCGS certification verify).
