Uluska New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 11/28/2014 10:01 pm I have Wheat penny, 1946, that has quite deep cavity, about 5-6mm in diameter, on a front next to Lincoln's chest and year 1946 is minted over this indentation. The indentation looks like it was chipped away and then year was printed. On the back side the coin is absolutely normal, no bulges, nothing remarkable. What could be possible value of this coin? It is not new, it was circulated. I plan to post pictures as soon as I have decent camera. I had to make pictures with Photo Booth, so year is not visible, but it's 1946 and numbers look normal. The indentation, actually, measures 4 mm. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by Uluska 11/28/2014 10:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 11/28/2014 11:37 pm Sorry, but we'll need better pic's when they are available. Speculating, it might be a small lamination error or it could be PMD. We'll know more with better pic's. Report this Post to the Staff
