    Interesting error. One side blurry and the other side clear.

    That would be a keeper in my 'odd' collection....Good as a teaching tool as well... Cheers, RickO

    A nice coin to keep indeed. On the other hand, I always wonder if such error was created by an obverse or reverse die cap. I'm pretty new to error coin collecting, and always got mixed up with the two types of caps.

    Very interesting. I wonder what Charmy and Fred might say about this cent. Is it a 1995? Close AM?

    I think it's a 1964-D.

    @Windycity Just wondering... Is there any anomaly with the orientation of the reverse with the obverse?

  • WindycityWindycity Posts: 3,524 ✭✭✭✭✭

    No. Coin is properly aligned.

    As noted above, it's struck from
    a thinning obverse Die Cap.
