Please put as much info in the title as possible; they are crucial. * So I'm curious did you ever figure out if your penny was a pre or post mint error? Refence Topic: https://goccf.com/t/359759 Seems to me I have a somewhat similar penny. Just for reference it weighs 2.8g. The diameter and thickness is equivalent to a penny planchet. * Your reply was split into its own topic and moved to the appropriate forum for the proper attention. * Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95254 Posts	Posted 06/19/2025 09:46 am for this coin, I'm thinking that long ago it was damaged, sanded down and the reverse rims were removed. I suppose that on the top of the obverse 'was' a damaged planchet, but with all the wear and other intentional damage, it is hard to tell. Collecting since 1972.

Crazy4pennies New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 06/19/2025 12:04 pm Thanks for the help hand and encouragement! So I was watching a grading video and the person given the tutorial mentioned a flat face surface. Though they were referring to a dollar coin it looked exactly like mine where the bust is concerned. Throw in jagged edge errors and that covers a couple of the errors. The split down the center of the planchet on the obverse is observed on the reverse via the memorial building. It appears it was joined together, not sure how someone could pull that off? I'm a newbie but I have been researching this coin and I know everyone wants their coin to be the big one! What I'm hoping is that someone with a lot of experience explains how so many different errors could, pre mint, happen. Really examining the coin suggest, to me, it couldn't be the work of someone bored. The rounded edges, jagged errors aside, are smooth without evidence of post mint strikes. So I'll stick with pre mint across the board and remain hopeful that someone with the knowledge can help explain how it "could" happen :) Individually these errors amount to a little sum. However, collectively perhaps it's a nice shot in the arm? Any input is welcome whether it's in agreement or not, this is a learning experience for me #129312;[/size=2] Report this Post to the Staff
