bhnbfp20 New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 11/12/2017 7:31 pm Something about this 1982 penny looks off. It still has significant luster with a very strong cartwheel, but looks like an extremely week strike, almost blurry. Is this a weird variety or just a fluke?

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74777 Posts	Posted 11/12/2017 7:37 pm It appears to be a VLDS (Very Late Die State) strike. You can see all the mushy letters and details. The die is extremely worn and working past its retirement. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 11/12/2017 7:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff
