splatto Valued Member Canada 426 Posts	Posted 06/08/2010 10:45 am I found a heavily worn Wheat penny last night with part of its date worn off. It is listed as 192X with a mintmark. Is there any way to help me identify the year? Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19935 Posts	Posted 06/08/2010 10:56 am What's the mint mark? Got a picture? It's VERY rare to have the date worn off a Lincoln, it's a low point in the design. If the date is worn off, the coin would have to be AG or less. Chances are it's a worn die, poor strike or Grease Filled Die. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff

splatto Valued Member Canada 426 Posts	Posted 06/08/2010 11:10 am The last digit of the date is completely gone. The Mint mark is visible but ineligible. I will take pictures and post then this evening. Report this Post to the Staff
splatto Valued Member Canada 426 Posts	Posted 06/10/2010 11:33 pm Now that I'm looking at these scans I wonder if it is actually 193x and not 192x. So what's the verdict on this coin? I still think heavy wear Report this Post to the Staff

splatto Valued Member Canada 426 Posts	Posted 06/11/2010 12:04 am In hand it still looks like 192x but in the pics through the loupe it looks like 193x. My wife agrees about 192x in hand too. However now I'm more interested in that die crack! Report this Post to the Staff
