I'm learn better through doing versus reading, so I was hoping I could get some insight from some of you as to what things are going on with this penny.

The stuff near the nose it split plating, see the zinc under the copper? Not worth anything, will eventually destroy the cent. The reverse has Machine Doubling. The die scraped against the devices during the ejection process. Beyond common. Worth 1 cent. Report this Post to the Staff
sweeps102 New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 10/17/2015 11:36 pm Thank for that assessment, I figured it was Machine Doubling I just figured you guys would know better than me. On the last photo, the word TRUST, why is part of the letters up by the rim. It's obviously just in the coating of the coin and not imprinted but what causes that? And the second to last photo, is that "blob" in the bottom corner of the building landscape, is that considered Cud? Report this Post to the Staff
