DonjMcK New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 05/17/2017 06:33 am I purchased a roll of uncirculated Jefferson copper cents and found this in 1961 do with a huge gouge in it. Is this considered an error? Can't find to much info on this type of coin error. Sorry couldn't fit the entire fro t and back of coin in 1 photo so I split them in 2. The last image I highlighted the gouge in the coin. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

scstrawn Pillar of the Community United States 536 Posts	Posted 05/17/2017 09:13 am Lincoln has been on the cent since 1909. Jefferson has never been on the cent, only the nickel starting in 1938. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/18/2017 2:14 pm Laminations tend to run in a straight line. This may have been a struck through debris and then fell off later. If so, then the coin would weigh normal. If it was a lamination, the the coin might be slightly light in weight. Report this Post to the Staff
