I have a 1923 Wheat penny that has a Dot between the D in god and the W in we. I had a coin expert look at the coin from this pic ,. He said he had never seen this and had no knowledge of such a coin error for this date.. Any thoughts?  *** Edited by Staff to clarify topic title. Titles are important! *** |

Welcome.
My first thought is it's the result of a rust pit on the die, although the raised area looks pretty regular in this photo. I concur a closeup shot would be very helpful. In any event, I don't think it's a big bucks "error" coin.

Or a die dot/dent in that location. A die dot is like a pot hole in the die that leaves a raised area on coins struck.

If an error for that year doesn't show up on any search , or was never reported. How do you get proper info?

Im thinking this is a special coin, due to the fact no one can tell me anything about it. Even the so called experts dont know..

Items that are common are not reported. Die wear/cracks/chips/breaks/die errosion/rust/machine doubling-damaged are part of the aging process. Most don't bring any premium. Just the extreme examples my gather some interest. So no one knowing a information about a certain coins even that happened to it, doesn't make it valuable. The things that people are looking for are the known items to look for. Die varieties like doubled dies, RPMs, OMs, OD (19th century coins) and know errors that do catch interest are the things people are look for. Things happen to dies sometimes do not gather attention. Evens like these may serve as markers on variety coins, but on regular coins, they are of no note. I forgot to welcome you: |

Advice: you're not going to make friends quickly around here by calling us "so-called experts." Coop is one of those; few know Lincolns better. Take his word to the bank.

But I think it is a result of the corrosion going on, either that, or a die dent like coop said. And please, this forum is for peaceful discussions, we forum members have already provided you with helpful information. But if you really want to spend some money to be disappointed, you can always send it in to a TPG if you don't take our word for it. |

Not trying to offend anyone at all. There is no corrosion what so ever in the area I'm talking about. I cant find another penny like this anywhere.If anyone has seen this on another coin, please submit a pic. Thanks again.

If this is common and not reported because of it being so common, there would be many examples to view , I would assume.?

After looking at the back of this coin. The dot or period in between the E and P , which is on every coin, is just like the Dot or period on the front of the coin..

Drakerick, the CCF members have given you their export advice. No sense in dragging this on. As stated, Quote: you can always send it in to a TPG if you don't take our word for it. These are tough words but CCF members know coins. Lets move on and show CCF other questionable coins you find. CCF moto "Education is the key to collector success!"  |

Understandable.But like I said before. If such a common error, why cant anyone provide pics of the same error as my coin?Ive talked to an expert in my area who is very interested in looking at the coin.He said if so common why cant any info on such a error be found. Thanks to all.
