HappyPappy1958 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 06/12/2016 8:34 pm I need help in identifying this coin as I believe it to be a mint error. Please let me know if you have seen this error or if it is a post mint damage. I cannot make out the date but it appears to be 1950 something. Thank You. Report this Post to the Staff

HappyPappy1958 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 06/12/2016 9:00 pm @Coop it is definitely raised especially under the In God and through We trust. The crack in neck area appears to be raised as well. I believe you are correct that it could be 1972 as on closer inspection it isn't silver as copper shows on edges. In your opinion would this coin have any value beyond maybe $5.00 range? Report this Post to the Staff

HappyPappy1958 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 06/12/2016 9:58 pm Thank you both for your input. I appreciate the welcome as well. I kind of figured it wasn't anything special, it just happens to be the first error coin I ever found in pocket change since I started looking at my change since Feb this year. So to me it is special and unless it was very valuable I was planning on keeping it anyways. Report this Post to the Staff
ErrorCoins222 Pillar of the Community United States 1699 Posts	Posted 06/12/2016 10:54 pm I would question the determination that this is a die crack, considering how much other damage the coin exhibits. The mark on the neck is likely only an extension of this damage. In order for us to judge this coin properly (or at least me, anyway) larger photos of the area in question are needed.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/13/2016 11:06 am The reason I feel it is a crack is because it is not a straight line like a scratch would create. It is irregular like you would see on a crack. Report this Post to the Staff
