You also agree to follow these guidelines. You must agree to these rules to be a member of this forum. NO SPAM! Spam is deleted within minutes, no spam will ever be left in our community.

1. Post a front and back image of your coin with a specific question about what you’re seeing or asking about and one coin per topic.

2. Please remove coin from the holder unless it’s US or an official mint case or unless it is graded by a grading service.

3. Images should be taken by a camera or cell phone camera, we ask that members don’t use images through a microscope screen.

4. Always start your own topic, please don’t ask about your coin or post your coin in someone else’s coin topic.

5. Do not send private messages about your coin unless an Admin ask you too and the same for sending emails through the board.

6. No spam. Do not post any links to your coin or other non-coin websites.

7. Always be respectful even if something makes you upset or you don’t agree with a member. You can always get a second opinion elsewhere. If you have an issue then politely ask an admin in an PM. PM’s are for issues, technical and personal, but not for coin questions (refer to number 5 on this list). Our community is not a soap box for complaining or drama, so please refrain from doing so here.[/size]

1c 1993 -help define errors

#1 Unread post by Califalex »

First post so critique freely...
Obverse: Weak "I" (IGWT), L (lIBERTY) and 3.Is it die deterioration or grease?
Surface striations - metal? Planchet? Abrasion?
Reverse: Same striasion but not as pronounced. Rim issue between 8 and 9 o'clock?
Finally this brown penny is not worth grading but is it collectable enough to sell on EBay? Or should I recycle?
Thanks for input!

I would study mint errors and coin images in general more before looking through coins for errors. It takes less time than posting images and asking questions. Then when you find something you post it here and we help you with it. Error-ref.com is the first place I would go.
Cents have been plated since 1982 and the zinc planchets can have lines, bubbles, be split around the letters and numbers and you will see gray or silver where it is split.
