    Error Other | Planchet Defect or PSD

    I tried resizing these the best I could but they may not be good enough.
    Certain ways it looks like a planchet defect, but also PSD.

    The last picture convinced me psd. Looks like it was cut.

      Thats what it looks like to me too, I know the pics are small and lousy, but there is a tiny crack in the planchet that has me wondering if its actually a cut or not.

        Sure looks like a pair of sidecutters did that. What year is it ? I could see a crack developing on a zinc cent when cutters were applied.

          It is a wheat. You can tell by the fist picture and the lettering on the second one.

              I am on the fence with this one as I cannot increase your photo size to make a determination.

              Maybe Mike D. will see the post and give his opinion.

                I think cropping the pics takes away from enlarging them...

                    Before cropping your pics resize the pixel amount to a 1680 x 1050 then resize the pic to the same size... You will have more pixels to work with... At least that's the way I do it!!!
                    To me it looks as if it is a planchet error and a cut... As if someone marked it as bad planchet but put it in the wrong bin at the mint!!!

                      OK, I'll try that. It'll take a few though...

                          You know Abe, I'm pretty sure that you've got an incomplete planchet, I've had similar coins. Better pictures would help to determine for sure, but that's where I'm leaning.
