I was cruising thru my local antique store and searched his coin collection. Here's what I found. No I wanst sure at the time if it was a real Brockage but seen the die clash. Gave 20 buck and tossed it in my bin to look over later. My question is this? Is it a brockage with a die clash or a PMD aka vice or hammer die? The columns and steps on the Obv are inverted. What throws me off is its a Close AM weights 2.5 grams. This should be a cppper zinc penny. But its not.    |

@spc, with that fully formed obv rim, that looks pretty cool to me. Can you please post the diameter? Thx.

Would it be safe to say this is a transitional penny as well ( 1982 or 1983 ) giving the Close AM and full copper? Should I send it in to 3rd party for authentication? |

It's RDV-004, which means 1974-1985. Judging by the strike it looks to be a mid 70's coin.

This is a secondary brockage arising from a clashed cap strike. A late-stage die cap contacted the reverse die directly, picking up a partial design. It then proceeded to strike the next few planchets, one of which is your coin. This is why you have a strong, raised ghost of Lincoln in conjunction with a relatively unexpanded brockage.

It's not worth grading. It'd probably bring $20 on ebay. Error coin writer and researcher.

Porkchop. You're right its RDV-007, that's my bad. But, uh, it's not copper. It weights 2.5G, which means zinc.

Congrats.
Can you share an image of it on the scale to show the weight?

So my thinking is to send it off for grading since the mints have stepped up their level striking. It may be worth more 20 years from now?  |

If it gets more valuable in the future consider sending it at that time, if that time ever comes you may consider sending it in. doing so now would cost you more than the coin is currently worth.
