cocoanutz Valued Member United States 65 Posts	Posted 03/06/2020 6:35 pm Hello CCF. This is quite unique with a fully exposed "brain area" -- machine misaligned in minting process? The circular fine linear pattern seems to parallel that circular flow (inner circular part north of the rim)? Please help us with the forensics of this one. Thank you. obv rev Report this Post to the Staff

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 03/06/2020 8:04 pm looks like it could even be vending machine damage. Deep cuts, but PSD for sure.

DeadElvis Valued Member United States 137 Posts	Posted 03/06/2020 8:29 pm I've been coin roll hunting and skipping these. They are such trash coins to begin with. Combine that with my inabilitiy to detect an error, I re-roll these without inspection. I might be missing a bunch but I hate shield pennies. I cull them immediately on opening a roll. *Edit to change ability to INability - I'm not good at diagnosing errors yet :) Edited by DeadElvis 03/07/2020 10:16 am Report this Post to the Staff
Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7189 Posts	Posted 03/06/2020 10:56 pm @ DeadElvis...the Philly minted LSCs do have some nice sized DDOs...I'd check for those (however I'm in So. Cal and only run into 8 to 10 at best Philly cents) Report this Post to the Staff
cocoanutz Valued Member United States 65 Posts	Posted 03/07/2020 02:08 am @Greasy Fingers This is neat to know. Is there a particular year of the Philly LSC's? And what mainly do you notice in these? DD in LIBERTY? date? Earlobe? IGWT? Please share..Thx much. Report this Post to the Staff
