Titles are Important! * Hello all hope you are having a great night! Anyway I was going through some coin rolls I purchased at an auction and found a 1944 Wheat penny that might have been struck on the wrong planchet, any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance! * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community 26893 Posts	Posted 08/07/2018 12:00 am That's not Bronze. That looks like a plated coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community 26893 Posts	Posted 08/07/2018 01:24 am It's just a damaged coin unfortunately. It's Post Strike Damage (it happened after it left the U.S. Mint). It's only worth Copper melt value at this point. Report this Post to the Staff
sosicoin Valued Member United States 393 Posts	Posted 08/07/2018 04:19 am Hi, Willyt22. The experts are on the spot on their assessments. To satisfy your curiosity, with you thinking it's a wrong planchet, try using a magnet. If your coin sticks to the magnet, you have a wrong planchet. Furthermore, weigh the coin, if it's in the 2.5 grams range then you have a wrong planchet. Otherwise, choose where to put the coin & hunt for more....choices...choices....hope to help.... enjoy the hobby... Report this Post to the Staff

NLL Valued Member United States 55 Posts	Posted 08/07/2018 3:24 pm I agree that the coin spent time in acid. That would account for the low weight. Report this Post to the Staff
Willyt22 New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 08/07/2018 9:29 pm Thanks so much for the editing and the evaluation I'm still working on posts! But I was wondering what the letters and numbers close to rim on the reverse and what appears to be a head and shoulders around the N in CENT on the reverse also? Any thoughts.
