1982 Copper A Fun Place To Talk About All Cents

1982 copper small date 3d bowtie obverse variety

Could you crop your images so that we can see details of the coin? We don't need to see the 2X2. And take them out of the 2X2 for the pictures.

pictures are cropped by snipping tool and no why take a common coin out of the case what a waist of time and risk to damage a red coin? I need gloves to do that and mine are all contaminated from opening uncirculated rolls they turned the fingertips black. If you can't see the bowtie difference I can use the coin camera thing later.I am busy on a quest to find in the 1982 rolls a 1982 grease through die variety I don't have one for my collection. If you have one please post it so I know what to look for because the only kinds of grease throughs I have been turned onto in coins I found by friends who spotted them are 1943 steel grease through types. I thought they were just obliterated coins but shilo is a smart Guy! No weather or not a grease through or jacked up coin as far as I see is genuine I could care less it is the thrill of the hunt. Happy Hunting! Oh any when I get new gloves for searching more unc wheat cents I will gladly repost 2d bowtie variety and 3d bowtie variety cents. The reason we call them that is because these varieties or different looks were discovered here in Oregon and thats what they call them! And another thing https://www.coinworld.com/news/us-c...ntimony.html
Thats Oregonian too! Hoorah Oregon!

You need to use the default Microsoft image viewing software to crop your images NOT the snipping tool. the images above are not useful at all to let us see what you do.
I use that image software all the time to crop my images and they all turn out great!
Also the 2x2 cover is causing glare - can you retake the images with the coin
NOT inside the 2x2? (just wear gloves or only hold by the edges)

I too have never heard of any 'bowtie' varieties can you post up a link or 2 of this study or as proof to your claim? Or is this just a study you did yourself?

In any case, we need MUCH better images to convince me of this.

AS to your claim to your 1943 'Tin' cent also on that NGC web site is a short statement:


"No known documented evidence to support the claim"

The first pic/double struck lincoln is cool.

Dear born here are two pictures under a coin camera of two different bowties one a two dimensional image showing the front and one side of the bowtie only; and the other a a three dimensional image of two sides of the bowtie plus the center knot of the bowtie showing.




2d bowtie

coin find of the day a destroyed 1957 d which I think is a re-punched date.
