SaintLouisCoins New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 10/27/2017 8:09 pm Found this penny crh, and I thought it was one of those pennies that werent striked on the back, and its very weak on the front. I think the mint mark is an S, and the date starts with 196- theres a possible die crack at the bottom, but that might just be a normal after mint dent. I took this into the local coin shop but I know they don't deal with errors or such because they told me when I asked if they'd be able to identify error coins if I ever bring them in. The guy said this particular penny was just really worn down... I'm no expert but I kinda don't think that's the case. But then again, I'm fairly new to error coins so I dont know much.

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 10/27/2017 11:17 pm That is certainly not normal circulation wear. It was aided in some way to be that worn.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73688 Posts	Posted 10/27/2017 11:21 pm Not a Mint made error by any means, but your pictures are excellent quality. I wondering if someone sanded it down or something to make it this way? I am not a expert etheir, but just wondering what the possible explanation could be about this Lincoln Cent being so worn down. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Thank you for sharing the images and for making me learn something new today about the Washer coin. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
