Andi551 New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 11/23/2024 9:46 pm Hello All, I was wondering if anyone could tell me anything about this penny I recently found. I am fairly new to this. When I came across this penny I didn't know what to make of it because I had never seen a gold-collared penny and when I looked a little closer It seemed that this may be an error on the right of the obverse side. I circled it in one photo. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time Andria Report this Post to the Staff

In this way, we can get some good answers to your questions. That might be a rim Cud that you have here. Have you looked at the cuds-on-coins website yet?

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19148 Posts	Posted 11/24/2024 08:28 am Modest rim Cud, minor misaligned die, and possible plating. An accurate weight to two decimal places would tells more about the plating matter. Report this Post to the Staff
