Error pennies

Okay. I just finished going through about 2,000 pennies and found these four oddities. What do you think?

It's a pretty impressive percentage. Looks like more than mere chance would provide.

Should I submit these four coins to PCGS under the error grading service?

not really worth it... they are not worth too much. Did you find the IHC clipped planchet in a bankroll?

cladking

Unless it's something pretty special about the only clips worth slabbing
are major ones on older coins, special ones, and those on about 2004
and later issues. The mint has greatly tightened up on quality and most
errors are getting most uncommon.

No i just inherited a massive amount of coins. They were in a box of about 10,000 pennies. The three lincolns clrearly looked clipped. I the IHC clipped as well?

The three Lincolns are Mint errors, the Indian is not, just damaged and corroded. There is no reason for you to get the three Lincolns certified, clips like those are relatively common and worth on the order of $2-5 each.

Obviously whoever put those 10,000 cents aside had already sorted them from a much larger pool, there is just no way those three coins would end up in a random assortment of 10,000 coins. Before you dispose of the hoard, check out the Coppercoins site for some varieties to be looking out for.

I agree with the previous posters. The IHC is damaged. The three Lincs are not worth submitting for grading. They are nice, however.

I do agree! I search thousands every night.

I don't understand your point. Why would you think they were already sorted?

richbeat

Look for the Blakesley (sp?) effect opposite the clip. The three Lincolns have it; the IHC does not. Most clips have this effect.

Because it is hard to imagine that by the luck of the draw, you had three clips in a pile of so few cents.
