Hey y'all,
Plowed through another box of pennies this week.
Here's the results:
Wheaties liberated - 6 (1944* 1944S 1945 1956 1956D 1957)
Copper (1959-1981) - 661
Canadian - 80
...*With what I think is a die / strike error.
Take a look at this penny. It looks to me like this penny planchet de-laminated in several places during the striking process, then someone took a sharp instrument and knocked off a protruding copper sliver. I have seen a post in the past with a penny that looked somewhat like this, but can't remember what this error mode is called.
On either side of the cracks, the surface of the penny is at different levels.
Anyone else remember?
HH,
Bob
