More errors - more thoughts???

Hello again everyone...

I have found a few more errors...these are all on Lincoln cents (various years) - thoughts? The pics that are touching are the same coin (OBV/REV).

Thanks,

Kevin

  • that 53-D is odd. Clashed with a reeded collar before put into striking chamber maybe?

    Could the 53` D be struck on some struck darksider?

    That 53-D is interesting if it wasn't made post mint. image

  • How can I tell if it was made post mint? How are these things valued? Should I send them in to be graded?

    Thanks for you help...

    The 45 and 47 are planchet lamination errors.

    The one with the weak reverse is probably a weak strike or clogged die.

    The 63-D with the bulge below liberty looks like some sort of planchet lamination error (that bulged but didn't peel off) from what the picture looks like.

    The 61 with the 1 damaged is probably post mint damage from a coin counter or roll crimping machine.

    That 53-D with reeding might be post mint, you might look close on the other side, see if the rim is smashed. If it is it might have been smashed with a reeded edge coin. If not see if anyone else has seen something like it. I've never seen anything like that. Maybe someone else has?

  • The REV of the 53D is the pic just below the OBV (touching it)...

    I agree
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"
  • The REV is not damaged though?

    1963-D: not sure
    1955 no.1: die deterioration
    1955 no.2: tapered planchet, most likely
    1955 no.3: die deterioration
    1953-D: encased or lucky token cent; not an error
    1947: lamination error
    1945: lamination error
    1961: damage from a coin-wrapping machine
    1953: damage from a coin-wrapping machine

    Yes, That sounds like a good explanation on the 53-D.
    It could have been in one of those ad tokens, when they sealed it that made the reeding. Good thought!

    Not that this person needs any backing up but he has them all correct in my opinion. The one with the "reeding" was in the center of a ring at one time as part of an encased cent.

    The one that really has a small amount of value is the one that was struck on the tapered planchet. Maybe $5.00 or so.

    lamination errors can also be called delamination errors...

    You are technically correct. I'm not even sure if "lamination" is a real word. "Laminated" simply means layered. Delamination means a layer peeling off. But error hobbyists have never been known for their grammatical exactitude.

    I know:-) One of my aims in life, my reason for being, my all consuming passion.....(Ok...that's got more ham in it than a can of Krakus polish ham) as an error and variety nut include my attempts to educate folks on the words that get used incorrectly such as , double die for doubled die, and lamination for delamination etc.

    I will go on record though as saying It doesn't bother me if someone calls a cent a penny:-)

    Have Fun,
    Bill
