John Frank 4263 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 03/18/2023 11:39 am Hello everyone. I am just new to coin collecting and finding coin errors. I'm excited to find new errors in coins all the time. So I need some help on this one. I purchased this coin from Etsy, not the best place. But it was from a lady that was selling some coins from a coin collection from a family member. I received the coins and checked them out. All of them were pretty clean bit then I noticed this on my 1849 braided hair penny. It appears to have several strike errors on the right side of the coin. There are also Cuds in the majority of the stars. On the reverse the letters C and E in cent are connected. Just wanting some advice in the legitimacy and potential value from the community. Thanks for looking and advice. Hopefully I'm sitting on a gem. Report this Post to the Staff

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 03/18/2023 11:59 am The marks make me think of Lamination or possible Strike Through, but may be Post Mint Damage, as JimmyD noted. I would like to see full images of both sides of the coin if possible. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!
