Hey everyone, I won these in auction this morning so the pictures are the sellers. It's my first coin purchase from the bay in a couple years, it was a large lot of coins and basically got these for nothing. A couple broadstrikes and a partial brockage, but any ideas on the others? Thin or split plans? I'll get a proper weight and better pictures once I receive them.

1980 and 1981 are, by far, the most common years to find these error types...

I just got a message from the seller, "Hello, I regret to inform you a few of the pennies that were punched wrong were lost. I feel numb as I have never lost anything before if you are still okay with your purchase excluding the pennies please let me know if not I will cancel the order."

I've replied and asked for a picture of the ones they have and to please keep searching but I think it's pretty obvious what happened here. I had a feeling something like this was going to happen.

Nope, I did check. They've informed me they can't find the two at the top of the picture, conveniently the nicest of the bunch. I'm still happy with the rest of the lot so I've asked them to ship it, I'm just not sure what sort of feedback I will leave them.

Sounds pretty shady to me. Hope you got a discount.

3 of the bottom 4 look like pre-strike split planchets, so still pretty cool!
