Panther Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 02/14/2019 3:04 pm I know I've seen pictures of this but I can't recall what it was called. The reverse has a very distinct horseshoe shaped low spot, yet the lettering is all intact where you would expect it to be shallow or gone. So that tells me it must have been struck over the low spot. Notice primarily the C and T in CENT. Notice also no raised spot on the Obverse.

It's pretty common on the Wheaties and carries no premium over face value. It's another form of Die Deterioration. http://www.error-ref.com/progressiv...gn-transfer/ Errers and Varietys.

Panther Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 02/14/2019 3:51 pm Thank You everyone. I'm really not in it to sell coins, I just want to collect varieties and keep them. It's funny how 9 out 0f 10 posts always includes the sentence, "How much is it worth". The only coin I would sell would be the 1804 U.S. silver dollar. Dan Report this Post to the Staff
SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 02/14/2019 5:03 pm It's also known as "ghosting." It's seen pretty often on the Wheat cents. (also the 3 cent silver). Report this Post to the Staff

Sounds like me, I don't buy, nor sell, only collect. That said if I ran across the goose, that laid the golden egg, I might think twice. Quote: It's funny how 9 out 0f 10 posts always includes the sentence, "How much is it worth". I think its just as funny how many replies say its only worth face value, when nobody asked. Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st 02/14/2019 5:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Have to agree with you there Doug. It's almost like it's a stock answer whether the question was asked or not. Report this Post to the Staff
Panther Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 02/14/2019 7:16 pm So I'm not the only one that those two phrases bugs to no end. So Please, everyone stop saying. 1- Its only worth face value. 2- How much is it worth. By The Way, since 1982, a one cent coin is worth MORE than face value. Thanks everyone for all the input.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74624 Posts	Posted 02/14/2019 7:33 pm The reason why I say "It's only worth face value" is for mostly new members to know that it doesn't increase the value. I'll stop saying it to you, but I'll say it to new members. Please don't be annoyed with me, as I didn't do anything. Errers and Varietys.

ty88ty2 Pillar of the Community United States 772 Posts	Posted 02/14/2019 8:06 pm Either way, its worth more than face value. I can get 3 to 5 cents for these common ones all day long! Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34426 Posts	Posted 02/14/2019 8:30 pm @panther, regardless of the coin's value, this is a great example of PIDT.

Eyes4Error Pillar of the Community United States 710 Posts	Posted 02/14/2019 8:46 pm How about this... It is worth whatever you can get someone to pay for it! Can you convince them it is worth more? If not... then it is in fact only worth face (market) value or possibly melt (copper) value... (If they would only do away with those stinkin' Lincoln's already... so I could at least double my investment. LOL... JK ) Some people want to simply collect and others think they will strike it rich... and if your lucky enough you may be able to do both! Makes cents to me... I do it for pun!
