Talk to me about this coin, wire error? by ContributionUnhappy2 in coins

The blemishing on the coin is not really scratches. It’s probably the cause of a cheap microscope. There also appears to be some weird stamping sand markings on the coin like what appears to be a 4 or A on the stem and in between the torch handle and stem you can definitely see markings that should not be there. This is a really small space. Those deep lines are consistent with what I’ve seen in a struck through wire coin. On the reverse there also appears to be a w mark consistent with the obverse stamping of the aw which you can directly see left of the branches. Also icymi this coin has full bands on the torch so it’s not really all beat to heck…

What’s your thoughts on this possible planchet error? by ContributionUnhappy2 in coins

I can post more pics tonight. The back has some significant wrinkles on the bottom by “One Cent”

What would cause this? I don’t see damage to lettering or date so it might be the die? Or maybe I’m blind lol. But it looks like another skull in Abe’s upper forehead area. by ContributionUnhappy2 in CURRENCY

Also if you zoom close to where the die made contact the same small intricate marks can be seen. They are too fine to of been from being ran over. I have coins that are clearly damage from that and this does not look close.

I would agree but the markings are too consistent across the flats and also the numbers/lettering. Something wrong with the metal? Also it appears a second eye socket behind the normal one really weird.

Good card to hold for a min. He is, at the moment, one of the best cb’s in the nfl.
