    I recall seeing a You Tube error video that included this. These coins had several errors in the series.

    Hi everyone and thanks for the reply. What I want to say is that I showed this coin to pcgs and they didn't mention anything about it being wrong. Also some of the coins didn't know about the errors to some of them as in the picture. Is there a solution to this. Thank you

    What did you expect PCGS to do differently? If you don't tell us, we have to guess. My guess is that PCGS was absolutely correct and there is nothing noteworthy about any of the coins that you pictured.

    Did you submit them to PCGS and just get a grade with no error designation? Or did you ask for the designation (and submit as an error) and get denied?

    This does seem interesting, regardless. Who is the formost modern Lincoln Cent person on the forum? Perhaps if they are given a shout out, they might be able to present more info, if any is available. It might be PMD or something more interesting. Thanks for sharing.

    Hello everyone and a thousand thanks for the response. Regarding the coins, I explained to them when filling out the form (submit them to PCGS) about the mistake and when I contacted them, their response was to send any coin and pay $20 for correction for each coin. So now I have more than one coin. Anyway, a thousand thanks for the response.

    When all is said and done, even if that apparent anomaly is identified, is it going to be worth anything? :*

    That is a very strange comment. The PCGS business model does not involve submitters "explaining" anything. Please show us exactly what information you sent to PCGS (an exact copy of your submission form, with your address blacked out).

    Agree. Barely visible even under magnification.

    What do you mean you "showed" this coin to PCGS? Did you send it in?

    Hi everyone. Thank you for your response and sharing the response when I contacted PCGS. Their response was that there is no error, although the error is very clear. I should send them the coin again and pay $20 for reviewing it again, although I paid the required amount previously. Please advise me whether I should return it again to PCGS. Thank you very much for the help.

    I still don't get what kind of error it is supposed to be. If it's a die clash then you should be able to match it up with the obverse details.

    The coin is worth one cent. You've probably already spent at least $50 on this coin. Even if it were proven to be a minor die clash or die gouge, what would it be worth?

    You are literally throwing money away.

    Best to look for known varieties (DDs, etc.) or major or even minor errors that are easy to identify.

    Based on the pictures you have posted, their response is accurate. There is nothing in your pictures that shows a clear error, or arguably any error at all.

    What is the specific name of the type of error that you think is present on your coin? PCGS doesn't want a description, and I'm not asking for a description either. I'm definitely not asking for you to say "It's clear!" or "It's obvious!". I'm looking for a specific name of a specific type of error recognized by the collecting community.

    For example, you might say, "This coin shows a brockage strike". When you provide a specific name, someone else can either agree ("Yes, that shows a brockage strike") or disagree ("No, that does not show a brockage strike"). As a hint, your pictures do not show a brockage strike.

    When you have the name for the error that you think exists on this coin, have you confirmed that PCGS will attribute that type of error at all? There are many types of errors that are simply too minor and too common for PCGS to recognize.

    If you submit a coin with an error that PCGS does not recognize, you should not be surprised that PCGS does not recognize the error. You can keep paying them if you like. They will keep taking your money. They won't change their policies and suddenly start recognizing errors that they have already decided are not worth recognizing.

    @noordan1

    With all your numerous posts and answers provided by very generous members here 300+ you should be an expert LOL in this subject? Are you learning anything?

    Why dont you post a picture or two or ten and show the actual coin as I for one and probably others would like to see the PCGS slab.as well.

    I will give you some credit for actually filling out the PCGS form.

    What coins did you submit and what exactly did you submit description and price level estimated value?

    What were the results given lol?

    You made a statement in one of your many posts Thank you for the quick response. Since my eyesight can no longer tolerate light, I turned to you for help. I thank you very much..

    How are you able to take the photos and look at coins etc?

    Just to let you know US Coin you love is referred to a a CENT not Penny.😳
