Sudz Pillar of the Community United States 1572 Posts	Posted 12/14/2013 4:28 pm I have no idea what is going on with this cent. It almost looks like a trail die but none are listed that match. It almost looks like a die clash, but nothing matches up. Also of note, IN GOD WE TRUST is very weakly struck and is almost indiscernible. The reverse is normal. I would sure appreciate any and all opinions on this, thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/14/2013 4:36 pm It looks like it may have been struck through a die cap that was deteriorating. Here is one that was also turning after a few strikes. That would explain on your coin you have some areas with what appears as ripples at the edge of the devices. But not sure of this theory. Mike Diamond would be able to nail it down more. Did you clean it for the obverse complete image? It helped to see what was going on with it. Report this Post to the Staff

Jayman931 Pillar of the Community United States 2651 Posts	Posted 12/14/2013 7:25 pm I was going to say it kinda looks like a Die Cap...I saw the strong reverse strike and the soft mushy looking obverse strike....Guess I was kinda right. Cool Coin Report this Post to the Staff

jay4202472000 Pillar of the Community United States 853 Posts	Posted 12/15/2013 01:09 am It looks just like the 1980 I posted a couple of weeks ago. I agree with Coop & Errorcoins222. Struck through very late stage die cap. Check out this link. The coin on the bottom right is a dead match. That's how I figured out what mine was. http://error-ref.com/Struck_through...die_cap.html https://goccf.com/t/158049 Link to the 1980 I posted for comparison.
