tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 11/12/2023 1:47 pm This die was heavily abraded in mostly one direction, making it kind of unusual. The mark coming off below the B of LIBERTY is so heavy it looks more like a gouge than a scratch. Then there is the lamination issue on the obverse, and a small struck through rim burr on the reverse. Nothing too amazing, but a lot of action on one coin. 1949-S Lincoln Wheat cent mint error - lamination + struck through rim burr Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 11/12/2023 2:02 pm You're welcome! Always happy to put up stuff I find either worth looking at or of educational value. I go through so many errors and varieties that it's pretty easy to select a couple fun ones to post while not bothering everyone with the endless minor stuff. Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5772 Posts	Posted 11/12/2023 4:09 pm Nice looking lamination. I like lams. Do you think that might be mint grease on the reverse between the O and EPU? I think I remember hearing collectors back in the day would consider these damaged coins and not worthy of collecting. EDS, no issues, and creme de la creme was what they were after. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 11/12/2023 5:00 pm Between the O and E PLU. First, that is the area opposite a high point on the obverse, so it is typically lightly struck and/or a grease trap. Here, It has a light "nicky" pattern so I'd suggest that it was just not fully struck there. As for the discoloration, it might have been grease at one point as something was apparently stuck there, but now it is just a toned bit of the coin's surface. Report this Post to the Staff
