tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6163 Posts	Posted 05/27/2024 12:09 am Nearly every coin in the error collection I bought is correctly labeled. But even so, there are some that just aren't what they say. Or so I think. This one was labeled "Struck No Collar," which kind of can't be true as it would then be a broadstrike. The diameter is 19.1 in all directions so that is out. To me it just looks like a standard old buffer coin, maybe with some fine grain sandpaper as the weight is down to 3.03g. 1977-D Lincoln Memorial cent damaged - buffer coin Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6163 Posts	Posted 05/27/2024 9:34 pm Yup, just one an error collector got wrong. But with most of the collection correct, a couple mistakes are okay. Why? As while sometimes they are just a buffered coin, other times they are far better errors than the label indicates. "Wrong" can go in either direction. Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15761 Posts	Posted 05/28/2024 05:54 am I've never heard the term 'buffer coin' - but by the context of this thread I understand it to be a coin that was intentionally sanded down to lose detail.
