Error Struck Through | 1981 cent with what I really think is TRAIL DIES On obverse

[Sheila ruley]

I am pretty positive that this is trail dies. The only other copper cent I Can find online is a 1971 cent. I cannot find any other copper cents. Do you guys agree?

Curious how much it weighs?

Possibly struck through late stage die cap?

F333A7E7-2F34-485B-962D-DD7376BE4196.jpgNormal weight.

I have no idea. I just can’t find anything on it. The 1971 even says that they are not 100% sure either.

What top dawg said! I spent too much time researching..... Link (http://www.error-ref.com/?s=die+cap)

[Sheila ruley]

Wow! Thank you! I just could not figure out what was going on. I have never seen a die cap look like that before!

Wow! That 1974 looks almost identical!

[enamel7]

The sad thing is that when I first started collecting I threw some back like this because I thought they were pmd!

[Sheila ruley]

I have too! But this was one just stood out. That 74 does really look �� like it!

I thought that's what it was when I first saw Sheila's pic but then pulled it up in the glossary and it seemed much different.

Link (http://lincolncentforum.com/wp-conte...ent_IMAGES.jpg) I guess that example is just a much more extreme cap. As soon as I saw the pic of the 74 in error-ref though, there was little doubt.

Nice find... I am with the others... Excellent job on the link Jon... That 74 really convinced me also!!!

I definitely agree with a 'Struck Through Late Stage Die Cap'. I also threw away many when I was young and stupid and didn't know any better. Now that I am old and stupid...I don't make that mistake any more. This is one of my favorite errors and I now have abut a half dozen cents and a dime with this error. Rally nice find!

Congrats Sheila for a very nice find! Nice job nailing this one Big Brother enamel! And kudo's to Jon for linking us to a great example on that 1974!

Bob, we all know better... you are just being humble and a little bit funny when you pick on yourself! If we just had half of the knowledge you have... then we could say "I'm almost as smart as Bob!"

Now... I confess... I have read about struck through die caps and there's a lot I don't understand. The only part I really get is, a coin gets stuck to one of the dies and strikes other coins until it falls off.
