@sdelo, a super coin for one of your first posts! Was this something you found, inherited, or bought? Welcome to CCF. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

How nice to see an error that doesn't need a microscope to appreciate.  |

My husband purchased it from someone recently with some other coins. This one is our point of certain interest at the moment.

That's an awesome coin. People found coins like this al long time ago and stashed them away. That's why you don't see them often. In my opinion.

 to the CCF! Fantastic error Wheat cent! Keep it safe and I suggest you have it certified by a Third Party Grading company. It's a wonderful coin and should be preserved. As Tunnioc said above, if you remove the coin from the 2X2, don't clean any of the surfaces. Don't even wipe it with a cloth. I've collected error and variety coins for 50 years and I dream of finding one like this! ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

Wow! She's a beauty! It's crazy that the strikes are rotated (about) 180 degrees as well. A great coin for sure. I would TPG this one.... -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage

First, I believe this coin is a counterfeit. I hope I'm wrong. The obverse shows a normal, well centered first strike and a 180 degree rotated second strike that is off-center east, eliminating the last digit of the date. If genuine, the reverse should show a normal, well centered first strike and 180 degree rotated second strike that is off-center west, eliminating part of the left wheat stalk. The pictured coin shows the reverse second strike also east, with a missing portion of the right wheat stalk. Lincoln's portrait looks like the one used on the well-known Chinese counterfeit off center 1951-D Lincoln Cent. The date is wrong for a 1944 cent. In the 1940s, all eleven fours are different, including both fours in 1944. The 1944 cent had a pointed sans serif first four, with an angled ending crossbar and a snub sans serif second four, also with an angled ending crossbar. The pictured coin shows a serif second four. IMHO, this is another (new?) Chinese counterfeit. |
