sbvenman Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 I picked this out of some of my wheats. The 0 on the 1940 looks like it is squished. It doesn't look like post mint damage to me though. I checked CopperCoins and couldn't find a variety. Thanks. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedeadpoint Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Maybe someone tried counterfeiting a rare 1940 cent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dustin43160 Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 dont think its rare because i have two of them myself but if they are rare errors maybe i can retire before m 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostDutchman Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 it looks like the 0 was damaged on the die... this could have happened from normal die use... or the die received some sort of damage on the 0 maybe from a planchet fed in vertical... or some other sort of dramatic condition that could have damaged the die Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 I still maintain its a faked 1940 in copper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
