Hmmm.... Welcome to the forum... looks very familiar... almost suspicious even... were they found in a parking lot by any chance?

Kindest regards,

I agree with PMD/PSD. They definitely look like a parking lot coin.

Just because they came from a roll doesn't mean the mint made them like that. It only means they were like that when they were placed in the roll.

I have a very valuable mint error. It looks like Lincoln is smoking a pipe.

Place a couple of pennies in your drive way and run over them a few times and then compare.

No one has said this is plating blisters, so copper-plated zinc cents are not relevant.
Take any type of cent and place it in a parking lot with loose gravel. Run over it with your car a couple of times and see how it compares.
Let us know how this experiment goes.


Yours are NOT "struck through" anything!! When a die strikes the surface of a planchet, each coin will look exactly the same as it comes out of the collar. If something was on the surface of the planchet as the dies strike the surface, there would be an indentation. The perimeter of this incuse area(s) will NOT be raised like your coins exhibit.

With post strike damaged coins, like yours, when an object penetrates the surface of an already struck coin, the metal is displaced by the foreign object and creates a pressure ridge around the perimeter of the incuse (recessed) area. With a " struck through" coin, the surface of the die keeps this pressure ridge from forming around any struck through recessed area.

I can't emphasize it enough that your coins are not a mint error, but if these parking lot coins are what interest you and you like they unique pattern on each, then collect away.

But don't lash out at people with decades of experience that take the time to reply to your questions and offer insight. Lashing out has caused more than one person to have their posting privledges suspended. This is NOT a threat by any means but simply a fact.

Lastly, thanks to you and anyone who does take the time to post images and questions, because that is how we all learn.

Damaged Goods, you were given 30 day timeout for insulting member by Jeffofpa, so you join under new name which violates our rules. Your ban is back on for a new 30 days.
