    Upon enlarging (please make it bigger) it appears that it was struck through....nice find.

    Looks cool but as for price may be $1 could go as high as $5 but not that big of a deal you see a lot of this stuff from time to time. Good eye keep looking that is how the big one's are found, Welcome to the nut house.



    Hoard the keys.

    Very Nice struck thru error coin.

    Looks to be a struck through.

    In general, though, you should post both sides in case the reverse shows any sign of damage that correspond to the area on the obverse.

    All I see is a big dent at the date. If that’s not special, then I don’t know what is ;)

    InterestIng coin looks almost like a gouge in the coin. I guess some are calling that a struck through. I am not that versed on that subject. Very interesting I wish I had one. I wonder if that is in my new book I bought cherry pickers guide volume I and II. If it does anybody know what page it’s on?

    As far as I know the CPG lists die varieties, not one off errors, so no, it would not be there.

    Zinc cents make it easier to diagnose. If it were a gouge (PMD) then you would see zinc. In the case of this coin, the depressed area is still plated. (Seeing both sides is still key to making a definitive decision in many cases, though).

    Thank you JBK I am work so I don’t have that book handy.

    I did just come across this web site Mint error news looks interesting.

  • I thought this coin was unique because in that gouge you can see two 9's and faintly part of the one. I was of course hoping it was worth something....but I suppose not however I can't find this error on any others. I will post the other side and the word States is raised at the top of the word and the bottom looks shaved but can still see the word clearly.
    Thanks everyone!

    Thx. I don't see any damage on the reverse that could have caused, or been caused by, the damage on the obverse.
    That seems to support a strike through.

    No idea on value but it is a great coin to find.

  • I appreciate your reply, thank you...... :)

    @BW1997....Welcome aboard.... Based on your picture, I agree it is a 'struck through' anomaly.... interesting find...not a great value numismatically speaking, but a keeper nonetheless...Cheers, RickO
