SimpleLargeCents New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 01/27/2021 12:46 pm Could be that accompanied by a Struck Through Grease error. I'm not an error cherrypicker, so I don't have the greatest idea on what is a mint error and what is post mint, but it looks to be a mint error imo. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/27/2021 12:52 pm The die was in the LDS (LATE-Die-State) die state at this time. But the biggest probably with the 1982 large date cents is that the master hub was swelling outwards, distorting the devices. The reverse is showing a die crack. But the surface looks grainy. What is the weight? If 2.5, then the surface plating may have had some zinc dust plated on the zinc planchet. But when it was struck, it was probably a bit more red, but still showed all of the other issues. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19138 Posts	Posted 01/27/2021 12:56 pm Very worn die is a key contributor to the appearance (especially so in IGWT obverse, USofA reverse)--may be some other element in play well, like a brief flirtation with acid. Report this Post to the Staff
