Hello all. I am fairly new at collecting and have found this penny. Can someone please tell me what this kind of error is considered to be? Thanks.   |

Looks like a nice struck through coin. The rim is intact with no obvious signs of damage. I like it.

whats the back look like (mint mark and magentic or not, etc)?, some 2006s are a lot rarer than others.
a rare variety with that error might even get more of a premium.

Thanks again cladhunter. Wade. It's not a rare one :( It is no logo. non magnetic. Here's a picture of the back side. Thanks for looking.  |

Your very welcome Coin Chick. I love errors and varieties. I search for them so much that I have yet to even start a single folder to complete a set of any denomination of coins. I have 4 boxes of cents sitting beside me now...just have to get started on them.

Thanks cladhunter and wert.
I started CRH last year and my best find was a 1955 NSF 1 cent. I think in a VF condition. I have taken an interest in errors more and more. And I love the pennies the most.

How deep is that crater? It looks too deep to be a strike-through, without affecting the other side. Yet, we know these coins were plated, so it is either a strike-through, or, possibly lamination error on the original planchet, which then was plated, and then struck.... without the coin in hand, it is a bit of a head-scratcher. All I can definitively say is that it is a keeper and that I wish I had one too! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks again SPP-Ottawa
I'm enjoying your comments. I'm rusty with taking pictures. I'll get the hang of it.
I'm not sure how to tell the depth of the error but it definitely isn't hard to miss. This is the first coin of this type of error that I have found :) I love this

You make a good point SPP-Ottawa. You would think that a strike through of that magnitude would show some type of weakness on the OBV of the coin. If it was an incomplete planchet or other planchet error...would the rim also show some sign of the defect as well? Or would the collar obliterate any sign of the defect?
Coin Chick...would it be possible to get a pic of the coin out of the 2x2 at a angle with the affected edge of the coin at the 6 o'clock position. If taken at a decent angle we should be able to get an idea of the depth of the anomaly.

Thanks for the Pics. Let me ask a member if a software program he uses can shine a little light on the situation. :)

looks like another crater on the flip side, under Liz's ear/cheek bone ?

I just realized that this coin does not have a 'P' or a RCM logo, it is not a plated coin. That is a lamination peel (or delamination as some would call it), you can see some elements of the last A in Canada and the leaf just inside the edge of that crater.

I'm with SPP on this one.... a planchet delamination. They are not too common ... a really nice find.
