So I have this 1969 S penny that has some errors, I'm just not sure what to call them. Tell me what you think!!! *On the rim of the penny, *mark on the reverse side on the left *another mark through Liberty *the word America sticks out, and it appears to be more bold * the color of the rim, Lincoln, and the words shine brighter than the penny?
@Sumzmommy None of the things you mentioned were caused during the minting process. It's one thing for someone to just say "Yes" or "No", but the important thing for you to learn is "How". Once you learn the "How", things like this will become easy to identify. So, I'm going to leave it to you to tell us how these things occurred after it left the Mint. It's like learning how to drive a car. It may look easy when one of your parents gets behind the wheel, but it's a different ballgame when you are behind the wheel and your parent says, "Go!" Chris
Definitely looks like severe PMD. Though keep your eyes open if you find any more '69 S Penny's, there is a valuable doubled die.
I have a 196? Penny that is smaller than dime, is missing the entire in god we trust, missing most of liberty and the last date digit. Possibly worth anything? And a 1944 steel wheat penny
This thread is 8 years old. Post a new topic with images. Somebody else just posted about a 1944 steel cent and resurrected another ancient thread. You can buy counterfeits of them on the Chinese website for $1, so don't get your hopes up.
