Lenore411 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 12/29/2012 12:17 pm This is a Wheat penny with 19 clearly showing followed by a number that can not be read and no fourth number. Is this a true error or a mistake caused by grease in the die? What would it be worth? Report this Post to the Staff

fioti Pillar of the Community United States 4212 Posts	Posted 12/29/2012 12:21 pm Last digit seems scraped {PMD), probably affecting the 2nd digit, as well. Report this Post to the Staff
Broken-Coin Pillar of the Community United States 1812 Posts	Posted 12/29/2012 12:56 pm After checking this coin at a 500% zoom level, it looks like the last digit was a zero and pushed up (you can also see the scrape indent). Report this Post to the Staff

Lenore411 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 12/29/2012 1:27 pm How would that happen or why would someone do that? I purchased it for a dollar and it was listed as an error, but I had a feeling an error would've gone for more. So maybe that's a fake error? I just liked the novelty of it!

pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 12/29/2012 1:38 pm Sounds like you are assuming it was done intentionally. Coins get accidentally damaged every day. Report this Post to the Staff
Lenore411 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 12/29/2012 1:43 pm True. It's an interesting defect at least! Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 12/29/2012 3:25 pm to CCF Lenore411. It is PMD (post mint damage). How it happened is anyone's guess. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Jayman931 Pillar of the Community United States 2651 Posts	Posted 12/29/2012 3:33 pm The mark goes parallel with the rim...I will say it from a coin rolling machine. Wheat Dates have a higher profile than newer cents. I think it met the guillotine... Report this Post to the Staff
