Hello all, I found multiple errors in a few penny rolls I purchased. One has my brain on fire. I have spent hours looking for something that fit, everything I see fits, but there is more to it than anything I can find online. Any thoughts?    |

 To CCF! What's your question? I was wondering if you can get a picture of the obverse? Errers and Varietys.

Looks like your coin is covered with dried glue. Try soaking it in 100% acetone and see if it comes off.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

You were correct, I thought it was metal over it, but it was clear and weird lighting. Awesome thanks &  |

Looks like it may have been glued into a "lucky penny" holder, or something similar. It's all damage, done after leaving the U.S. Mint. Worth 1 cent.

Agree--dried crud--likely glue. Acetone would likely remove it, or at least reduce it.

Exmm5678 Environmental damage. A acetone bath might help, it should aid in removing the glue on reverse. |

it was glued to a bezel. that glue should come off after a long soak in Acetone.
The obverse is the most telling part of what happened to this coin and the image should have been included in the first post.

 No Doubt. That's why they ask for both full obverse & reverse images upfront, included in your posts!!  Edited by Tacc

Hopeing to save you money in the future from making an expensive mistake. If something like this is sent in and it is your first submission, the required memberships fee and others will durun you around $150.00-$200.00. And this coin would have been returned in a body bag as just damaged (with noe explanation...they never do and won't). Grading companies GRADE coins, they do not look at them for you and tell you what error you have. To get an error slabbed, you have to identify it ahead of time, make sure it is even one they will put in a slab as being that error, and pay even more money for them to do so. Don't use ebay and youtube click bait videos of how easy it is to get rich off of error coins (the reality is that coins are NOT a way to make a lot of extra money for almost everyone). Most odd coins you find will be damaged. It takes a knowledge of the minting process and the die making process to be able to identify a legitimate errors coin, and if you are not willing to do those things, you will almost certainly lose money and become frustrated over and over being fooled by non-error coins. Coin grading companies do not look at coins and try to figure out what an error is. They GRADE coins. If you have an error coin you ndeed to identify How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
