corkykile Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Hi all you gals and guys. This is my first try at sending a picture of a coin. It was done with Paint Shop Pro and a scanner. I took the coin to a gentleman coin dealer yesterday and he is as certain as I am that this coin is original and the problem is likely a thinner than normal planchet that was struck and caused the 'error'. The coin came from either a 1,000 or 500 sealed penny bag I purchased a few weeks ago. I doubt anyone would take the time to fake something like this and put it in a bag to sell. The coin has no file marks and has a fairly even and good patina, and as you can see, is a bit dirty. Can anyone tell me what kind of error it is? And, if possible what grade you might give it. Thanks for your input. CK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becky Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Looks like a grease filled die to me. Very cool, but usually no premium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I will keep it anyway. Back to the pennies as there might yet be an unknown one to find. CK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I will keep looking at my enormous collection of pennies and maybe I will find one that is actually 'rare'. CK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
