Thanks I will try not to be too much of a pain in the butt.I have been on other type Forums where I actually knew quite a bit about the subject but not so much this one. Tonight I got another Lincoln 1942 D with a ding next to the date I,ll post a picture in a while of it. Probably just a whack from some thing but second opinions are always welcome. I seem to be drawn to taking chances as I bought 2 lots of pre 45 quarters which where supposed to have a silver planchet 1925 but turned out to be just clad when they arrived. I did get the melt weight back for both coins but that was why I bought them. I have to be more selective in my choices.

You should include the date, mintmark, and the denomination in your titles. Why Topic Titles are ImportantThe title of your topic is very important. Let's say you need help attributing an 1896 Morgan Dollar.... - Horrendous: Help!
- Bad: Need help with coin
- Better: Need help with Morgan Dollar
- Good: Need help with 1896 Morgan Dollar
- Awesome: Need help with V
This enables the members with expertise pertaining to your question to easily find and answer your question. The title of the topic also becomes the title of the topic's web page, which enables us to attract more collectors to the site. The more members we have, the more we learn. |

OK I,ll try to be more specific with title details. Here is the picture of the 1942 D Lincoln Wheat penny that has some imperfection with the rim just to the right of the date. Does it look like die error or just damage to it    |

Because this area in RED is piled up, that indicates a hit to displace the metal. I do find it odd that it is smooth on the rim area that is gone. I just can't imagine a mechanical cause, so have to say PMD Edited by Crazyb0

The edge shows damaged after strike. That crease should not be on the rim. Smashed and damaged.

I appreciate all insight and opinions good bad expert and novice. Because the outer rim of the coin has an elongated crease from pressure and the smoothness of the indented affected blemish with out the top ridge being broken or missing I thought that maybe something may have gotten into the die while being pressed and created the anomaly.

Update 1942 D Lincoln Wheat penny: My 30X Jewelers loupe showed up in the mail today. I was using my neighbors 10X. After looking closely to the area affected I saw what looked like a very small amount of silver color more than likely from whatever struck it. There were small striations as well as slight color differences from the normal copper wear color. On the reverse side also very small striations in a flat spot on the rim. The affected area was much cleaner than the rest so yes correct damage not die error. |

Good rationale Max. Yep damage. I don't enjoy delivering bad news, but I figure you deserve the truth. A 30X loupe is too strong for purposes here, it shows unwanted detail not conducive to identifying Varieties and Errors. 10X is much better.

I try to keep an open mind with out expectations. I did look at coop #3 video and found it interesting. Die events, One of a kind errors. Without going much into a lot of page waste I have been looking at major flaw coins like the 1999 Delaware Cesar Rodney DD (Rodney) quarter and the 2004 Wisconsin double leaf errors. They seem more likely to POP up sort of speak than others. I would always prefer truth and try to offer up the same rather than to just take one persons word and say oh well. Thanks all for the assistance. I,m sure I,ll be around here a bit here and there. Peace
