benbobam New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 02/24/2023 9:46 pm im just trying find out if its a normal error or a new error and the rough value of the coin. ive only been around the hobby for a little over 2 years Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19197 Posts	Posted 02/24/2023 9:47 pm I believe it's a damaged '94 D, zinc core cent. May have been a Dryer Coin, or was deliberately 'worked' to be made smaller. Report this Post to the Staff
Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 02/24/2023 9:49 pm The " Close AM" on the 1994 LMC is no error. That is normal for that year. Report this Post to the Staff
benbobam New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 02/24/2023 9:49 pm it was found in a roll and I thought it was just post mint damage, till I seen most of the tips of the letters on the rim Report this Post to the Staff
benbobam New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 02/24/2023 9:53 pm thank you tacc, I can rule that out. now why is it smaller than penny but same size as dime but thicker than both with weight of 2.27g Report this Post to the Staff
Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 02/24/2023 9:58 pm sure thing ben! Find yourself a 1992 or 1992-D " Close AM"! That's magic. Report this Post to the Staff

allcoinsaregood Pillar of the Community United States 808 Posts	Posted 02/25/2023 5:30 pm I think the coin was trimmed to use as a dime in a vending machine! I have a couple of them but they are copper not zinc. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97089 Posts	Posted 02/25/2023 8:46 pm yep, sure looks like this one took a turn (or a whole bunch) in a dryer and got the rim bashed in. Collecting since 1972.

Sap Moderator Australia 16846 Posts	Posted 02/26/2023 8:49 pm A "foreign planchet" can be ruled out. The US mint does not strike any foreign coins any more, and has not done so since 1984. The US Mint does not produce its own 1 cent coinage blanks; these blanks are made by a zinc company in Tennessee and shipped to the mint already plated and ready-to-strike. At the time, the zinc company did not make blanks for any other country (they currently also make blanks for Ukrainian coins). It is a regular 1994-D cent that has been damaged. How the damage happened, and whether it was an accident ( Dryer Coin) or deliberate (vending machine fraud) is largely irrelevant. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
