P0key_ New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 06/01/2021 4:22 pm I have a 1947 penny which looks to have a chunk of copper on the obverse so I didn't know if it was rare or not and how much it's worth, or even if it's considered an error at all. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/01/2021 4:36 pm I would call this one a struck through debris issue. The reason? Usually lamination issues get rolled out longer in a straight direction. On this one it is not longer and thinner, but just like I would expect to see as a flatten spread out direction on this coin. The weight should be a slight bit more than normal. (On a circulated coin, just being normal weight is slightly higher because metal wears off the coin in circulation) If looks like it fell on the fields of the die, instead of falling into the void of the die.

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7078 Posts	Posted 06/01/2021 5:39 pm Lamination on a steel cent? I'd call it Machine Doubling also showing on the bottom of the 4 and 3 on date.... Edited: In this case view the coin and Not the title, we are looking at a 43 not a 47 Edited by Greasy Fingers 06/01/2021 6:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 06/01/2021 8:05 pm Title and description read 1947, that's all we can go by. Photos do not always show true color. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7078 Posts	Posted 06/01/2021 8:57 pm But the photos show a clear shot of the date...1943.... Edited by Greasy Fingers 06/01/2021 8:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 06/01/2021 9:04 pm No question of delamination. An MD or debris strike must be confirm. The date is perfect. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97917 Posts	Posted 06/01/2021 9:17 pm what photo of the date? I see only on photo showing the upper left quarter of the coin. Was the other photos deleted?

Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7516 Posts	Posted 06/02/2021 08:50 am I am confused,where is the lamination or struck thru debris? The areas circled show a minor MD and the pic is from a 1943 Cent not a 1967 as title indicates Edited by Chase007 06/02/2021 08:52 am Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 06/02/2021 09:09 am The circled areas look like channeling/retooling. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
