GrassStyle New Member United States 44 Posts	Posted 12/31/2016 8:48 pm Is this a read error? I found the picture on the internet and just found 2 1946 s pennys in the same roll with the same effect as the picture * Edited by Staff to remove YELLING. All capital letters is the internet version of yelling. Please don't do it in titles or posts. * Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 12/31/2016 8:52 pm Yes! It's a real error. More information here:http://www.error-ref.com/?s=progres...043;transfer As for what it is really worth.... well, condition/grade matters and you need to check SOLD prices, not just asking prices. Nice find. Hope your good luck continues! Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 12/31/2016 9:08 pm Seller is widely off the mark on price, but these sell on ebay as Lincoln's ghost for a few dollars. Report this Post to the Staff

Omegaraptor Valued Member United States 321 Posts	Posted 12/31/2016 10:00 pm PIDT is extremely common on 1946-S cents. Doesn't add any value. Report this Post to the Staff
cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 12/31/2016 10:25 pm I see them all the time, I never knew they had any value over the date of the coin. I guess people will buy anything if you tell them it's a rare error. This isn't rare at all. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 12/31/2016 10:33 pm it is a mint error. It is caused by die attrition. The dies are gradually altered by repeated contact with planchets. The dies transfer design elements to each other right through the coins they strike. It is also referred to as Ghosting, or Internal Metal Displacement Phenomenon - depending on which expert you talk to. It's a good example of Lincoln's outline on the reverse. The price is a rip though, the dies were commonly over-used in the 40's and 50's making Ghosting errors plentiful. Report this Post to the Staff
