Just some interesting finds

[Guest]

I am in the process of filling out the Whitman books, and I ran across a few pennies that were interesting while coin roll hunting. I know they probably aren't worth more than $0.01, but they were interesting enough to pull aside.

2000-P(as far as I can tell): Grease Filled Die
1983-P: Filled B (die chip?)
1970-S: Decent machine doubling.

As I am new, feel free to let me know if I am not calling the errors correctly, or if I am missing something. Was a chance for me to try out some new equipment (camera), and show off a few finds.SingleShot0008.jpgSingleShot0011.jpgSingleShot0004.jpgSingleShot0010.jpg

Welcome to the LCF Mike! Very nice photos with your new camera! Let the fun begin!

I'm not the greatest when it comes to giving correct answers, but I like to give it a shot!

Your 2000P is a nice greaser, if you couldn't see the last zero very well... Lincoln's lips are a good indicator it's a 2000 as that was part of the design that year and we have joked around about them looking like "chicken lips" Did you check to see if it is a WAM (Wide AM)?

The 1983P is a hit to the B of Liberty, you can see the zinc core is exposed. Unfortunately if it used to be a filled B you would be unable to tell now.

Your 1970S does have machine doubling... very good call! It's also a large date. The 1970S small date is the rare one!

You are doing a great job! Have fun with your new equipment and thanks for letting us know when you have questions!

You beat me to it Viv! I was trying to find reference to the abscess on his B via die chips, It looks like it could have been a raised area that got chipped out.
And welcome Mike!

I think you got them all right.
The 83 looks like it was filled then the plating got scraped.

It's a bit easier to see from an angle. It appears that there is a built up area above the B that has been scraped down a bit. Also, the 2000 is a close AMSingleShot0012.jpg

Nice finds Mike. Could you tell me what camera you're using. I'm thinking of upgrading.
Thanks: Lou

It's a Plugable Digital Microscope. On Amazon for like 30 bucks. Pretty easy to use, but harder to get closeups.

Sounds like what I've got. Mine was $35.00 from ebay. Your pics are a lot better than mine.

Nice images.
I thought that second image showed a plating blister that collapsed. It seems to be inverted instead of scraped. Could be my eyes though.
