Hi guys this is my first time posting but I've done my fair share of lurking here. I got about a dozen life of Lincoln cents out of a friends coin jar and found some craziness when I got em under the scope. Just wondering what I would call these things (chipped planchet?) and if they are worth much of anything. THanks!
COIN 1
COIN 2
Coin 3 - possibly a multiple "strike through wire" situation?
Sorry for the huge pic dump I have never found anything like these before and I know that the 2009s were low mintage so fingers crossed hehe
The dark small spots are from sneeze droplets. Rest die events, Die cracks and looks like a cut across the coin on the boots. Nothing other than a face value coin.
With future posts, wee ask you to present one coin per thread, please.
As mentioned, coin 3 has a die crack, the rest of the spots are zinc rot, which will continue to grow to the point the whole coin with be eaten. Spend them while you still can!
