JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21615 Posts	Posted 04/07/2023 07:49 am to the CCF That is damage, not an error, it has been ground down on both sides. It is only an error if it happens during the striking of the coin and there is no way for that to happen at that time Report this Post to the Staff

Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7512 Posts	Posted 04/07/2023 10:22 am to the Community. We are seeing more and more of this type home made coin damage,it has become a new trend to grind down the copper coating and exposing the zinc core and making it look like an error, they are widely seen on sights like ebay and Etsy and so on.....

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5673 Posts	Posted 04/07/2023 10:23 am Wondering how you can grind off the copper plating on the shield, yet leave the copper on EPU largely intact? ADD: Guess I haven't looked at a shield cent recently—I forgot that EPU is incuse! Edited by Zurie 04/07/2023 10:26 am Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/07/2023 2:11 pm Looks like the plating was removed and now the zinc is showing through the areas missing the plating. Just a spender coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96581 Posts	Posted 04/07/2023 2:14 pm this coin was neatly sanded down on both sides to expose the zinc core. Collecting since 1972.

DrewM New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 04/09/2023 08:36 am well folks thanks for the input, I agree it's possible it was post mint damage on the overall condition, but the DDO oververse on the reverse side is Definetly a minting error, my photographs are not the best.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/09/2023 11:23 am DrewM, Please point out where on the reverse you see doubling. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5673 Posts	Posted 04/09/2023 11:40 am The photos aren't the clearest, but it looks like some Mechanical Doubling on UNITED STATES. Report this Post to the Staff

Perfectly smooth coin. I don't see any doubling on this coin. Even if there were, there is no way to tell now. Report this Post to the Staff
