Neo13x Pillar of the Community United States 604 Posts	Posted 12/10/2014 8:59 pm That clipped Wheat cent looks like its PMD. To have a legit coin with two straight clips the clips should be perpendicular. Report this Post to the Staff
TimbersFan Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 12/10/2014 9:48 pm The 1983 cent has a Cud (extra metal). Worth: $.01- $.05 The 1940 cent has PMD (Post Mint Damage) likely inflicted by someone trying to make it worth more. Worth: $0-$5 (depends on if someone wants it as a novelty piece) Report this Post to the Staff
kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 12/10/2014 10:24 pm With that much metal missing for the "clipped" coin to be real there would HAVE to be some Blakesley Effect. Report this Post to the Staff
Sudz Pillar of the Community United States 1572 Posts	Posted 12/10/2014 11:40 pm to CCF! As stated the 1940-P LWC is PMD (Post Mint Damage), IMHO, and not worth much except as a teaching tool for beginners to show what is not a clip. However, the 1983-P LMC does have a very nice legitimate Cud on the obverse (notice the weakly struck area on the reverse directly behind the Cud and above the "ATES" in "STATES" which is a pretty good indicator of its legitimacy) and carries a nice premium. One such 1983-P LMC that is nearly identical to yours (actually I'm pretty sure it is the same photo the OP used to start this post) just sold on ebay for $20.06, here is the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Error-Coin-...em27f2428ff2. It is a very nice find, congratulations! Edited by Sudz 12/10/2014 11:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 12/11/2014 07:47 am I'm surprised that the Cud went for that much. But I'm delighted so! Same as above: a nice Cud and PMD on the LWC. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 12/11/2014 11:01 am to CCF. The wheat looks PMD worth one cent. The 83 is a Cud. You may want to look here for a match http://cuds-on-coins.com/ John1 Report this Post to the Staff
