tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 01/08/2024 02:32 am Seems like the early to mid-1950's are full of tapered planchets, but it gets harder to find them for the early years. This is a pretty nice one in decent condition. Edit: The more I look at this coin the more I think it was mislabeled when it came in. I am thinking that with that strong rim on the obverse that it is more likely that the reverse lost a long chunk along the rim due to the lamination error, and the weak strike on the obverse is from that, not a tapered planchet. 1920-S Lincoln Wheat cent mint error - tapered planchet + lamination 2.80g Edited by tropicalbats 01/08/2024 02:36 am Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5774 Posts	Posted 01/08/2024 07:24 am Another nice one. So the lost lamination would have happened before the strike? Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 01/08/2024 11:38 am Thanks all! Dearborn this coin is probably VF and shows very little wear overall. Maybe you are seeing the weak strike as the coin being "well worn" but all that is pretty much just from the lack of metal there during the strike. Report this Post to the Staff
