l.cutler Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Can you explain what you feel is an error? I don't understand "It looks like my penny ate someone isses...". Crawtomatic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Also please drop and shoot your photos straight on. When you take them on an angle it distorts the image. 3.00g is within tolerance for a copper cent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1917 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 it appears that the center of the coin is raised above the rest of the field, right? I've seen the reverse of this before (parts of the field near the rim are raised), but I don't remember if it was a striking issue or pmd...

Kevine84 Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 What I am trying to do is show that the coin looks like it was struck on anther coin It is not raised near the rim, rather it rises up which the last 2 original pixs show There is a circular mass raised below the penny attached more pix The final one is very telling on how the copper seems stretched - it undulates and the steps are warped in the middle of the coin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevine84 Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 Here is a double denomination that is the shape I am seeing - obviously if you could see it like this it would be a no brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l.cutler Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 So are you saying the field of the coin is kind of bulging? I can't make it out in the pictures, but if that is the case it is most likely from a failing die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VKurtB Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 There are lots (and lots and lots) of cents with concave obverses and convex reverses throughout the 1970’s and even into the early years of Zincolns. I own many many of them. Some years got pretty ridiculous. 1984 comes to mind. Kevine84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modwriter Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 That doesn't make cents.😎☘ BUT SERIOUSLY THAT IS A BEAUTIFUL COIN. Kevine84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevine84 Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share Posted November 11, 2020 Thanks The centers are both convex though it appears to me. I'm gonna spend the grading fee. Figure my YFI coins upside can pay for that this month:) I'll post results when they return... Modwriter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conder101 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 The warping of the base of the steps is from incomplete filling of the design. That is also what is causing the weakness in the rook above columns 4, 5, & 6. I can't say about anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
