Praslin3 Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 My son found this penny in his pocket change. It has a relief of the memorial over Lincoln. Is this a mint error or post-mint issue. And is it worth anything. Thank you, Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dockwalliper Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 Just my opinion but it looks like glue or some other foreign material that stuck some coins together. I vote PMD but thats just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corina Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 one is counter stamped-PMD the other common everyday penny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayKay Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 Agree that #1 is PMD. To my aging eyes #2 looks strange. The upset edge appears to be folded over the legends. That shouldn’t be possible at the mint because planchets should go through the upsetting machine before striking. My first though would be to measure its diameter with a decent caliper. US cents are supposed to be 19.05 mm so anything smaller would argue for PMD as well. If it’s full-size then I dunno. That would imply the coin was struck and then upset, which theoretically shouldn’t be possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corina Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 also could be struck with a worn die or a bit misaligned when struck, either way it would be seen as a very minor error and adds no value to the coin what so ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
