    I would hazard a guess of environmental damage.

    Something is making me say struck through late stage die cap.

    Well, huh. Really? I haven't looked at enough error coins. Struck through a die cap. Huh. Hmm... :/

    Maybe? Or just a heavily grease filled die strike?? The way the date is spread should be the clue........ Anyhow it's a very cool looking find!

    Might be a die cap as mentioned.

    Any chance of getting a couple more photos of the obverse and maybe an edge shot?

  • GettingintocoinsGettingintocoins Posts: 35 ✭

    What type of pictures? I can try different angles and lighting

  • GettingintocoinsGettingintocoins Posts: 35 ✭

    I didn't think damage because if the reverse with so much detail

  • ifthevamzarockinifthevamzarockin Posts: 8,001 ✭✭✭✭✭

    If you can get slightly closer and still be in focus, lighting seems about right but you could something else.

    I'm also leaning towards a struck through a die cap

    Looks like a parking lot find.

    Actually it was in one of my jars that I've had for a while

    Thanks for all of the help. Do you think I should keep in my personal collection get rid of it or have it checked out?

    Why would you get rid of it? Chances are you will never find another -

    It's circulated and my guess would be around $25 - $50. Your results may vary.
    Not really worth grading but a great one to keep in your collection. ;)

    Late stage die cap. You can just make out the shape of the Memorial on the obverse.

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I would like to see @FredWeinberg comment on this one... I do tend to agree with the die cap assessment, though originally just thought it was a grease filled die.... Cheers, RickO

    It’s not a die tap - it’s struck through a late stage thinning die cap.

    An unusual find in circulation – they’re usually found in BU rolls or bags

    That should’ve said die cap

    I meant to say struck through a late stage cap.

  • jayPemjayPem Posts: 3,858 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Alright, this is groundbreaking.. am I the only one who's a bit blown away that after what seems like an endless and relentless stream of "look at the super valuable penny" I found threads, this guy actually has something cool?
    Noteworthy.

    Yes. I had to wait for the experts to confirm before I got too giddy.

    So, if I heard it right....

    It's a coin struck through a late stage die cap. A great and uncommon circulation find, but probably not worth quite enough to justify slabbing.

    Certainly worth keeping and worth bragging rights. :)

    I am thinking die cap, because struck through grease does not stretch out the details (like the number 5 in the date). Is the weight of the coin within Mint tolerance for the year? It should be close to 2.5 grams.

    Yes it's 2.50g

    Whether a strike- through or stuck by a thin die cap, the weight would be the same.

    This is the answer

    You found a genuine error coin.

    Weight indicates the coin was not altered after strike. Also, I need to correct my statement to agree with Mr. Weinberg, struck through a late stage thinning die cap.

    Congratulations, you found a cool error.
