Titles are Important! * The first pair of photos is of a 1962-D that is really worn and the reverse is torn up. The penny weighs 2 grams and is very thin. Did this occur during the minting process or later. The Second pair is of a 1955-D that has flaking that appears to have happened during the minting process. Has anyone seen this before? The Third pair of photos is a 1959 that is also very thin with a weight of just 2 grams. Any speculation as to the cause? Another that is 2/3rds of the weight. Finally the find. A 1956-D D/D RPM FS-501. I think it grades close to a VF-30. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 07/31/2019 9:57 pm to the CCF! Coin #1 I believe to be a split planchet-very nice find! The obverse is not worn, it is actually not well struck, or weakly struck because of the split. Definitely put it into a 2x2 or better for protection. Coin #2 is a lamination error-also nice. :) Coin #3 looks like it was acid dipped. And a very nice RPM to finish it off! Amazing finds! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Edited by CoinHunter27 07/31/2019 10:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74481 Posts	Posted 07/31/2019 11:47 pm I agree with CoinHunter27. He is 100% correct on all of them. Coin #1 is a scarce error coin, a Split Planchet. http://www.error-ref.com/split_plan_before/ The only coin that isn't an error is the 1959 LMC. It's been dipped in acid. Weight and diameter have been reduced. PSD. You can safely spend that one, since it's not an error coin. Worth face value (1 Cent). Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 08/01/2019 08:06 am CPK20, excellent finds ! The reverse of the split before strike planchet 1962-d is not torn up. The internal structure of the planchet was revealed when it split and some of that structure remains visible on your coin. My avatar is the same type of error and showes this as well.
