Mji2001 New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 01/25/2017 7:32 pm Hi, so I was looking through some pennies today and found this penny. Does anyone have any idea as to what type of error it is? Thanks. Edited by Mji2001 01/25/2017 10:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 01/25/2017 8:47 pm Hard to follow the depth perception in the images. The reverse design rim seems to follow one path between 7:00 and 5:00. After that appears the outer rim portion seems flatten like possibly encased at one time. Thanks, Doug. edit: The added obverse images show it was flattened as well. Also adding . Edited by Halo1st 01/26/2017 10:37 am Report this Post to the Staff

CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 01/25/2017 9:52 pm to CCF. The picture is not good, but I believe you might have a Trail Die. I don't know what's going on with the rim. Hopefully Coop will stop by, he's our expert. Edited by CoinMasters 01/25/2017 10:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 01/26/2017 12:04 am I have several like this and would also like to see what coop says about it. It's like it doesn't really have a raised rim at all.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/26/2017 07:28 am That is what it is, a former Encased Cent. Weird, at first my eyes couldn't spot the flatness of the rim until the last image. Sometimes it is a struggle with some images to see what is incuse and what is raised. Sometimes it takes a while to see the difference. But there is a lesson here. If you have an Encased Cent regardless how nice the coin looks, leave it in the holder. Once removed, all you have is a damaged coin. It is worth more in the holder than removed. Edited by coop 01/26/2017 11:13 am Report this Post to the Staff
