I have been really enjoying myself, sorting through a big collection. Some coins I brought home today  The penny haters might not like these .....   This first error Lincoln, I am thinking it had a large piece of lamination break off after striking. #1  You can see it still had a small part of the rim around 8:30  I am thinking if this was PSD, the reverse would show some sort of damage, but it doesn't.  |

Nice finds, agree pretty much with your assessments but #7 is questionable.

I am seeing now .. I should have posted this in the modern error section ... I understand your thinking on #7 BadThad. It is hard for me to imagine how this could have happened. I wish I had kept the 2X2, it had something this .. from same collection.  Of course that doesn't mean much. I guess if it is not a known error .. than it could be PSD. |

#7 is an indent strike, caused by the overlap of another planchet in the coining chamber at the time of striking. The mate would be a 90% OC obverse with a uniface reverse.

Thanks biokemist6 ... #7 I got to thinking .. because of no damage to the reverse I started thinking, what ever happened to the obverse must have happened in the die during strike. I started thinking strike through .. your idea sounds more like what happened. But ... if another coin was there wouldn't that area be more flat? I can see where there is still rim on the affected area. But the shape is more coin like. I was trying to take better pictures while you were posting.   Edited by GR58
