Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73916 Posts	Posted 03/23/2019 7:17 pm I found this in a mixed circulated roll, from a bank box of U.S. Pennies. This Cent shows severe Die Deterioration on the obverse and reverse, along with Peripheral Die Expansion And Erosion. http://www.error-ref.com/peripheral...and-erosion/ From error-ref: Quote: Definition: This error is characterized by radial expansion of the die face, excluding the rim gutter. The field portion of the die face and the peripheral design elements migrate outward, forming a thin shelf over the rim gutter that is immediately and continuously eroded. The result is abrupt truncation of the peripheral letters where they crowd against the design rim. This error has so far only been detected on some 1982 cents, but it probably more widespread. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73916 Posts	Posted 03/23/2019 7:43 pm Coop, that was something that I never knew about. The mintage of these things were almost 11 billion and they really pushed the living crap out of these dies. I am keeping it as a cool reference piece. Got it for face value. Errers and Varietys.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73916 Posts	Posted 03/23/2019 9:12 pm Thank you GrapeCollects! The reason why the 1982 LMC is my avatar, is because it's one of my favorite finds of all time. It has severe Die Deterioration on the obverse from striking probably at least a couple million planchets at the U.S. Mint. The obverse and reverse die was severely worn. Here's a link to the pictures of it. http://goccf.com/t/322204&whichpage=2#2746987 Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5238 Posts	Posted 03/23/2019 10:21 pm I have held a couple of these cents. They are quite a mess. I didn't keep them as they were extremely well circulated. The example you have is exceptional compared to the ones I have had. Report this Post to the Staff
