RW1010 Pillar of the Community United States 1207 Posts	Posted 01/28/2020 7:43 pm Is this common on wheat cents? I noticed one then found 3 more immediately after. Is anyone familiar with this and if so what is it. Thanks for any help Report this Post to the Staff

stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 01/28/2020 9:34 pm These are ejection lines. Created when the struck coin is ejected from the collar . During the strike the planchet expands and fills the collar. The coin basically scrapes its way out of the collar. Report this Post to the Staff
RW1010 Pillar of the Community United States 1207 Posts	Posted 01/28/2020 9:45 pm So these are collar errors? How common are they? I've only found this on the 1955 p Report this Post to the Staff

Panther Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 01/29/2020 12:39 pm Looks like they cut those planchets out with a miniature cutting torch. Dan Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 01/29/2020 5:03 pm Not a doubled die,looks like DDD which is just a worn die. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
RW1010 Pillar of the Community United States 1207 Posts	Posted 01/29/2020 7:00 pm Thanks john1. Just found 2 more and I think they are all poor man's doubled dies. Maybe it's DDD on the edge from a worn collar Report this Post to the Staff
