    Is this not the same question you asked last year?  
    Yes, that is the way they are struck.

    Greenstang got a reaction from EagleRJO in 1982 US Quarter error   
    Welcome to the Forum
    You are correct in stating everything is PMD, there is nothing there that could happen when the coin was struck.  
    Also in the future, please start a new thread for your coins. It gets confusing when there are too many coins posted at once.

    Not an error, PMD. The lack of rims and flatness of Washington’s head indicates that it was ground or buffed down.
    Still worth 25 cents though.

    First of all that would be nearly impossible. Also a 1943 steel planchet would only weigh 2.7g.

    Just damage. The 0 has taken a hit flattening it and the chin is also just damage.

    That is Die Deterioration Doubling.  
    Notice how everything is going towards the rim and the flow lines.

    Hard to tell from that photo.  
    Too much reflection and shot at an angle.

    Greenstang got a reaction from RonnieR131 in 1950 5 cent Canadian Die Clash   
    The coin you show would be from a coin struck shortly after the clash.  I believe the OP's coin was struck after the die was polished and just shows remnants of the original clash. Guess the only way to tell for sure would be to do an overlay which I can' do.
    Also I took that photo from my file. I have a file of a couple of hundred photos that I have created over the years for my own use. If there is another Canadian coin you would like to see, I may have a photo of it.

    Welcome to the forum
    I agree, just a die that was used well after it should have been retired.  
    No value in these beyond face.

    Greenstang got a reaction from Sandon in 1977 D Penny   
    It is probably a copper cent plated with nickel, hence the attraction to a large magnet.  
    If it was a steel coin, a small magnet would attract it plus it would weigh less.
    Not unusual to see nickel plated coins. No value but keep it as it is from your grandmother.

    Welcome to the forum.
    Do you realize that it would cost $50 - 60.00 to have graded. 
    With the split plating issues, it is worth 1 cent.

    Greenstang got a reaction from EagleRJO in 1983 D Lincoln Cent trash or?   
    Welcome the Chat Board
    That is  what is known as a "Texas Cent" (Everything is bigger in Texas)   
    Put the cent between two pieces of leather and pound it.   This will remove the copper plating and enlarge the zinc core.

    Welcome to the Forum.
    There is nothing on that coin that can’t be attributed to circulation damage.  
    It is only an error if it happens during the actual striking of the coin.
