PaxOfCash New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 06/10/2018 2:37 pm I found this error coin in a bag and would love to hear your thoughts. You can only clearly see the outline of Lincoln and no other distinct markings. It's clearly a wheat though as you can tell the feint markings on the reverse resemble where the "wheat" would be. You can also barely see an "N" from the "One" in ONE CENT. There is a very minimum outline of what could be 1911 or 1917 by chance but I can't be certain. I'd really like to hear your thoughts on if this is something unique or just garbage. I also found a complete blank copper piece that hadn't been pressed at all along with this one.

Sorry, but I don't see any mint errors, just a well worn cent from approximately 100 years ago. Please post your blank planchet in another thread--that could be quite interesting!

I would still save it anyway since it's a Wheat cent. It's worth Copper melt value now. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
