Error Lamination | 1939-D wheatie with a planchet error on the reverse.

[retiredcopper]

Another find in the 5 gallon water bottle I am searching. I believe this is a planchet error. The wheat stalk is strong into the missing metal. This bottle is full of surprises. So far, three cud errors, four greasers, and five proof coins.

I think you are right. It looks to be a delamination.

Nice finds on all!! Very cool! Have you made a dent in the bottle yet?

Nice find... I agree with the delamination... Looks like that piece of metal has been missing for a long time!!!

Congrats! That's a nice LAM! You have found some sweet coins in that water bottle, hope there's more!

Yes, I finally finished it. 15,642 pennies.

That's a whole lotta actual retired metal copper.
How long did this "Hat trick of Bricks" take to search?

Almost a month but I didn't work on it every day.

...... and five proof coins.

Nice find on the proofs. What years are they?
Also impressive is when you consider that in a "28 day" month, that would average a little over 11 rolls a day, if you did search every day.

Did you happen to keep a tally of the percentage of copper?

Yes, over 10,000 were copper but only 288 were wheaties. I am one of those "nuts" who saves copper memorial pennies. My goal is 1 million. Currently I'm at 785,000. Just scored 5 boxes of hand rolled pennies from my bank. They were glad to get rid of them. Opened 10 rolls yesterday that had old style wrappers. All were copper, including 16 early wheaties. It's going to be fun.

So 2/3 of that water bottle were copper. Do you know what was the most recent date? With that % it sounds like most were put up in the early 2000's.
BTW- Holy smokes. That's a lot of copper.
At $1.86 scrap value per 100 Lincolns you've got $14,601.00 (enough to go to Disney World for a family of five for half a day.)
