HumblePie Pillar of the Community United States 1217 Posts	Posted 02/17/2024 8:18 pm I found this cent interesting. It is graded by NGC AU58BN. It has S-19 mpd/rpd, but this coin seems to have a rusted die reverse that is not mentioned in the Snow book. Would you guys agree that this cent has a rusted die reverse? Thanks for all opinions.

As to the surface, that looks more like damage to me, but I'm interested to see where we net out on this one.

The die crack is mentioned in Rick's description, which is very visible on your coin. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

HumblePie Pillar of the Community United States 1217 Posts	Posted 02/18/2024 5:57 pm Thank you all for your opinions and thumbs up on the photos. I'm going to contact Rick Snow as Coinfrog suggested and see what he thinks. I will be sure to post what info I can gather on here. Since some of what we see on the reverse looks to be damage and some to be from a rusted die. Could this die have been taken off at some point and dropped/damaged, then stored away and rusted, then pulled back out and used again? Just a thought. Report this Post to the Staff
