Reese19516 New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 06/09/2022 3:59 pm Can anyone help me understand what type of error this is and if it is desirable ? There is a scrape on the reverse on the T and E in united ( on the E there is a scrape near middle of letter) and also at bottom on coin on letters E N and T Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21630 Posts	Posted 06/09/2022 4:25 pm to the CCF Not an error. That is known as "Split Plate Doubling" It adds no value to the coin. Correct typo Edited by JimmyD 06/09/2022 4:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 06/09/2022 6:31 pm @ree, first welcome to CCF. Second, I agree that you split plate doubling on this cent. The thin copper plating isn't fully covering the underlying zinc core.
