briarmentrout Valued Member United States 244 Posts	Posted 07/27/2019 06:45 am I found this 2014-d LSC the other night at work, I googled to see if I could find any others like it, and I found a youtube video with an incredible similar effect on the obverse. oaAb8LNAcN4 Guy from youtube guessed it to be a meltdown error? Idk, but I've never seen any damage like this before... thanks for the help! Edited by briarmentrout 07/27/2019 09:42 am Report this Post to the Staff

Big-Kingdom Pillar of the Community United States 1667 Posts	Posted 07/27/2019 07:28 am What the heck is a "meltdown error"? Never heard of any thing like it by that name. Also is the coin really that out of round or is it your len's or camera doing it? Edited by Big-Kingdom 07/27/2019 07:33 am Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74233 Posts	Posted 07/27/2019 08:16 am PSD 100%. Also, be careful what you watch on YouTube. There tends to be a lot of misinformation about coins on there. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 07/27/2019 2:19 pm Definitely a heat related PSD cent. Cool to look at but it holds no numismatic value other than a cent. Report this Post to the Staff
