195? Wheat penny errors

I f









ound this wheat penny in a $25 box of pennies. I am new to the coin world so forgive me for any stupid questions I may have. Well I believe it to have some type of a lamination error. It's on both sides. There is some doubling I see but unsure if it is a machine error. And last but not least. I see what could be some brockage above the date. These photos are horrible as my phone camera is even worst. The, "I God We Trust is almost unreadable. That's about the gist of it, please offer some wisdom as I don't know. Sorry for too many pics.

    For any definitive help you will have to come up with better pictures. No microscope screen shots, just good close up pictures of the entire coin, both sides. My guess from these pictures is some foreign substance on the coin or something like acid damage. I am not sure what you mean by some brockage. You may be using the wrong term, a coin is either a brockage or it isn't, no such thing as "some" brockage. Hopefully you can get some definite answers.






  • They are poor quality, my fault no doubt. I also forgot to mention his nose.

    Damage is not an error.
    An error can only occur during the actual striking of the coin.
    Seeing that what you have could not occur at that time, by default they are damaged.

    Probably acid or heat damage. No numismatic value.

    All glory is fleeting.
