Does that scale weigh only to tenths or does it go to hundredths?

I really don't wanna speculate because I still have a ton to learn in the error coin world-while it does look sanded to me tho I originally did not think 2.9 was all that out of the norm-a little light but there is a slight variance...but with these pics I'm sure one of the experts here will give you some good info soon

 keetoowah I'm a rookie around here, but this second coin looks like a split planchet before or after strike. Second opinions always encouraged. (edit) My first thought because the jagged reverse was after, but revisiting the faint weakness of the obverse strike makes me think before strike due to thin planchet. Was wondering the answer to Slamnbass's first question pertaining to the first coin? "what was the coin advertised as? What year is it?" Also a clear picture of the coin itself my help determine its classification or troubles. Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st

It is a struck on split planchet error. In other words, this 1959 cent was struck on a planchet that was split before being struck. The obverse weakness and reverse planchet striations are great clues. It's worth about $20 IMO. |

keetoowah,  I thought I would follow up before we get more coins in the mix. Usually easier to keep track and resolve one coin per post before posting another. Second or additional coins probably should have its own thread/post which would make it more likely to get noticed as it is a separate issue. Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st

Slamnbass, Could be my bad, but thought OP's first post of coin weighing 2.9 grams. Think I see a blurry memorial on the scale and thats about it and was hoping to see clearer pics of it for analysis. Do not see any conclusion or closure on this one.
OP's second post shows what I thought a second coin (split planchet) weighing 1.7 grams. I could be wrong. Thats why I mentioned a second thread for new coin(s) to avoid confusion.
Again I maybe wrong. Thanks, Doug.

Halo1st, I believe this coin was discussed in an earlier thread where it was concluded to be PSD. But perhaps it's not the same coin as I had believed it to be. |

ErrorCoins222, if referring to the first coin pictured in this thread, I believe your right. The second I've not seen yet. Thanks, Doug.

Looks like an irregular (in thickness) split planchet. I'm thinking it split before the strike. Nice find.

The OP's coin from this post is without a doubt PMD. The 1959 Lincoln posted is an ebay coin and does not belong to the OP, that one was struck on a split planchet. |
