Neek0 New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 09/30/2018 09:50 am So I found these two pennies today... This time I am sure that they are something special, mint errors and not PMD!! Hopefully... Lol, The one is a 1934 misprint or double/triple strike or something right? And the second penny, it has no year on it... Any thoughts on how to figure out what year it may be or if it's a fully copper penny or anything? And then or course the possible values of these coins, or at least your thoughts/opinions of what you think they may be worth? Thank You in advance for any and all input you share with me everyone!!

Spence Moderator United States 34425 Posts	Posted 09/30/2018 09:57 am Sorry @neek, but the '34 is just damaged--multiple flat areas as if hit with a hammer. The other piece looks like an unstruck planchet to me, but I'm not 100% on that.

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21620 Posts	Posted 09/30/2018 10:06 am Agree with Spence. The 1934 cent is just heavily damaged with no extra value. It is only considered an error if it happens during the striking of the coin and there is no way that damage happened then. The second looks like a Type II planchet, might be worth a couple of dollars. PS- Coins are minted or struck, currency is printed. Edited by JimmyD 09/30/2018 10:09 am Report this Post to the Staff

Neek0 New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 09/30/2018 10:35 am I think the penny is a mint error tho, off center for sure! It's not thinner in those areas as it would be if it was hit or damaged to crush it. Stjmm same with all the way around. And niether the front nor back is centered? Report this Post to the Staff
Foxwoods Man Pillar of the Community United States 4901 Posts	Posted 09/30/2018 11:01 am I see what you are talking about with the '34 BUT with that much damage it most likely caused by being trashed by a few things and then ground into the ground Report this Post to the Staff

I'd argue that the blank planchet is a pretty cool find, so don't beat yourself up too much.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/30/2018 8:02 pm 1. Note the rim area is flatten in certain areas? ( PSD) 2. Note the coin is no longer completely round? 3. Note rims are bent. All clues for a damaged coin. Report this Post to the Staff
