CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 09/19/2019 11:15 am I'm sure this has an official term the CCF could help me with. It has a great look and feel but any added value?

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 09/19/2019 11:28 am oops, wanted this in the error and variety sub.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/19/2019 12:53 pm What are you seeing as an error or variety? I am seeing a normal coin worth one cent or copper melt value (when it becomes legal) John1 Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 09/19/2019 1:05 pm John1, I'll try posting different angles later. It has thicker relief especially on reverse. On obverse rim below date is an indication of something off too. "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74481 Posts	Posted 09/19/2019 7:14 pm What's your question exactly about? Is it the thick and fat letters, on the reverse? Please elaborate. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 09/19/2019 11:07 pm Ok, hopefully this can clear up my question. The entire reverse seems bolder, thicker, and glossy. The comparison photo includes a 1966, 1972, and the coin in question. This coin was in well circulated bag of pennies but seems to have special armor. Obviously a different look but I'm not sure why.

Eyes4Error Pillar of the Community United States 710 Posts	Posted 09/19/2019 11:13 pm It was possibly a first strike, or EDS before the die and details got worn and polished. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 09/20/2019 01:22 am Thanks Eyes4Error, That makes sense. "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74481 Posts	Posted 09/20/2019 01:23 am Looks like a Very Late Die State coin to me with heavy Die Deterioration. See my tutorial on Die Deterioration, in my signature box below. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Eyes4Error Pillar of the Community United States 710 Posts	Posted 09/20/2019 01:55 am Sorry... I'd listen to EV. I guess I gave you the wrong advice. Made sense to me of why one coin has a clear and deep design, while the others seem worn and seem to not have the depth. Guess I got some more learning to do Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 09/20/2019 02:20 am Thanks EV, that explains the ridge wear and the deep look but I'm not understanding how those deteriorated dies appear rough and textured while this coin is very smooth.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/20/2019 04:50 am CoinHI, When comparing coins, you have to use the same date-mint-and grade. Designs change sometimes and you need to compare apples to apples,not apples to oranges. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
