I am wondering if the area on the reverse could be a planchet void? I do not know how to differentiate between that and a struck through debris. I am thinking that the fact that the lower right edge of the memorial can be seen clearly demarcated means something. I just don't know what!  |

Struck through. Nice find, especially for free!

Looks to be struck through & RPM, Nice!  A close up is needed of IGWT to offer an opinion in regards to that. |

I agree with Pete: I believe the void was a planchet defect before the strike -- and the corner of the memorial raised into that area as much as it could.

Hard to tell what is there. Too much glare. Try diffusing your images so we can see what is going on in the glare. (too much light) Try diffusing with a sheet of paper (not touching the light) so it will reduce the light and remove the glare from the tops of the devices.

Seeing a cent that old in such great condition makes me think it was in someone's collection -- like maybe they had a roll of 1960's and just decided to set them free.
Nice find!
Enjoy.

Looks like a normal mint mark from the last images thanks. But the reverse has a struck through error on the right base side.

Coop, to your comment that reverse was struck through... If it was, I think the memorial base there would have been flattened more with less detail.
Is is possible that there was a void there already in the planchet first and when the coin was struck, the base formed a bit -- but only so much because of the existing depression? I'm thinking that way because of coins I've seen with similar voids in the planchet in clear fields. They have that rough texture...
Can you comment on that possibility, please? Thanks in advance.

I do see something on the '1' in the date and the 'LI' in liberty.... |

Copper cent in AU in the trash? *sigh* makes you wonder what goes into landfills accidentally each and every day.

Lot's of old couches and chairs filled with old coins and old jewelry, Drew. Next time you see a really old couch or chair set on the curb for pick up, stop, pull out your pocket knife, cut the underside liner, and fill your pockets.

Yes drew I can only imagine. I work with trash and I'll pull out the coins if I hear them. Usually jingling at the bottom of the bag. Lol.
