aardspeed Pillar of the Community 921 Posts	Posted 04/19/2015 02:55 am I found these pennies: -1955 with waves on both sides(and a red 1955 also) -1940 with a die crack Curious what causes these wavy lines & is it PMD or from the mint? Does it add value? xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Edited by aardspeed 04/19/2015 02:57 am Report this Post to the Staff

aardspeed Pillar of the Community 921 Posts	Posted 04/19/2015 7:31 pm I knew I saw this type of coin before..... Here is a pic of a 1957 "rippled" coin & some others right from coins and Canada website calling it and error. There is no explanation for this, but does not mention acid or what caused it either. http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins...d-coin&id=30 Report this Post to the Staff
eddio Pillar of the Community Canada 1330 Posts	Posted 04/19/2015 8:15 pm believe your coin is a rippled/orange peel efect;; it is caused by excessive grease on the die leaving this first coins struck with rippled effect and it decreases after each strike.grease could be all to one side of die an in some cases it can cover over 70% of the coin,,,,as far as showing ripples enough for the naked eye to see enough grease must be left to create the ripple effect,,,,,,,,,,,,, Report this Post to the Staff
