I have checked Vista/Coppercoins/Wexler even Lincoln Cent resource. Probably nothing but I am trying to not over look something that may be a DDR as I still struggle Identifying unless its obvious This may be nothing but why if it is so thick? I don't see anything on to match On design Varieties either. Report this Post to the Staff

There's also some Die Deterioration and Split Plating going on as well. Will be interesting to see what the others say. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Littlemg2 Pillar of the Community United States 552 Posts	Posted 05/29/2025 10:13 pm So Reason Why I asking on these is I have 2 bucket full of 82 and 83 and have not been able to truly tell which one may be small DDR vs phase 3 which is harder to see at times. Now on the 82 Obv I am Confident to tell but when it comes to the Rev I just keep sorting and resorting them Report this Post to the Staff

Littlemg2 Pillar of the Community United States 552 Posts	Posted 05/29/2025 10:38 pm the UNITED does not look ab normally large to ya? As most of the 89 are skinnier to me so maybe it could be over polished? Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74104 Posts	Posted 05/29/2025 10:47 pm United looks normal in size. If it's skinnier in size, it could be from a die polishing. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 05/29/2025 11:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Littlemg2 Pillar of the Community United States 552 Posts	Posted 05/29/2025 11:40 pm Plated question if your sill around. Can some un-plated coins show traces of copper? From what I researched I still dont understand as I don see chemical traces but see some spots of copper. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74104 Posts	Posted 05/29/2025 11:58 pm I'm still here, so I'll answer your question. Some Lincoln cents can be partially unplated and have some of the copper plating showing. That error would be called Incomplete Plating. https://www.error-ref.com/incomplete_plating/ Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
