Brisket New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 04/28/2021 6:29 pm I have a 1957 Wheat penny that is only partially stamped on the back. The "error" coin is on the left, and the coin on the right is for reference purposes. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97083 Posts	Posted 04/28/2021 10:10 pm to CCF very nice! Is that a lamination issue on the obverse in front of Lincoln's face? Collecting since 1972.

stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 04/28/2021 10:22 pm This is odd . When this coin was struck, 1957, the obverse die was normally used as the hammer die and the reverse as the anvil die. Because of the collar, die caps should not form on the anvil die. The coins that I have seen from this era that were struck by a capped die would have a normal reverse and a distorted obverse. This coin is the reverse of what I would expect to see. Possibly, Mr. Diamond would stop by and set me strait. Report this Post to the Staff

Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 04/28/2021 10:58 pm I think it may be a full indent, or struck through a split planchet Report this Post to the Staff
Brisket New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 04/28/2021 11:15 pm Dearborn- I am not sure what a lamination is, but there is a gouge in front of Lincolns face. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/29/2021 01:16 am I'm leaning more towards a Struck Through Grease error. Why? Note the coin next to it. Note the rims are the same. If this were a struck through a capped die, I would expect more of a saucer look on the rims. But waiting on Mike Diamond to be the final say on this one. Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 04/30/2021 5:17 pm It's an in-collar uniface strike (a.k.a. full indent). Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
