Titles are Important! * I found this place to be very keen on coinage and already have been helped by the forum Thanks Now I have a 1919 Lincoln wheat back penny that appears to have a die mistake or damage to the lower eye of Lincoln. Being new I know very little about reverse obverse die errors and such. Here is a picture taken with a 10X Jewelers Loupe. If you can inform e if this is a known error or just a damaged coin I would appreciate it Edited by Max695 01/03/2018 1:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Max695 New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 01/03/2018 6:09 pm Thanks I will try not to be too much of a pain in the butt.I have been on other type Forums where I actually knew quite a bit about the subject but not so much this one. Tonight I got another Lincoln 1942 D with a ding next to the date I,ll post a picture in a while of it. Probably just a whack from some thing but second opinions are always welcome. I seem to be drawn to taking chances as I bought 2 lots of pre 45 quarters which where supposed to have a silver planchet 1925 but turned out to be just clad when they arrived. I did get the melt weight back for both coins but that was why I bought them. I have to be more selective in my choices. Report this Post to the Staff

Max695 New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 01/03/2018 7:53 pm OK I,ll try to be more specific with title details. Here is the picture of the 1942 D Lincoln Wheat penny that has some imperfection with the rim just to the right of the date. Does it look like die error or just damage to it Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 01/03/2018 8:23 pm Because this area in RED is piled up, that indicates a hit to displace the metal. I do find it odd that it is smooth on the rim area that is gone. I just can't imagine a mechanical cause, so have to say PMD Edited by Crazyb0 01/03/2018 8:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/03/2018 11:39 pm The edge shows damaged after strike. That crease should not be on the rim. Smashed and damaged. Report this Post to the Staff
Max695 New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 01/04/2018 1:35 pm I appreciate all insight and opinions good bad expert and novice. Because the outer rim of the coin has an elongated crease from pressure and the smoothness of the indented affected blemish with out the top ridge being broken or missing I thought that maybe something may have gotten into the die while being pressed and created the anomaly.

Max695 New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 01/04/2018 6:57 pm Update 1942 D Lincoln Wheat penny: My 30X Jewelers loupe showed up in the mail today. I was using my neighbors 10X. After looking closely to the area affected I saw what looked like a very small amount of silver color more than likely from whatever struck it. There were small striations as well as slight color differences from the normal copper wear color. On the reverse side also very small striations in a flat spot on the rim. The affected area was much cleaner than the rest so yes correct damage not die error. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 01/04/2018 7:13 pm Good rationale Max. Yep damage. I don't enjoy delivering bad news, but I figure you deserve the truth. A 30X loupe is too strong for purposes here, it shows unwanted detail not conducive to identifying Varieties and Errors. 10X is much better. Report this Post to the Staff
