Hi all, new to the forum, and new to collecting, so I'm super excited and curious about these. I took the best photos I could manage. I'll try again here if the photos are insufficient.
First I have a Lincoln penny. The obverse is nearly obliterated with nothing discernable except Lincolns bust. The reverse is sharp. The reverse has a raised lip on the rim for about ⅓ of the circumference which made me think it was 2 coins pressed together at first, but the lip blends into the normal rim on the flat, so I'm thinking that it is just one coin atm. It is uneven thickness, with the narrowest being normal thickness and the thickest is the ⅓ of a mm raised lip. What happened here?
.
Second, I have a 2000 P Sacagawea that has a weird finish. I almost looks “sandblasted” but the condition and detail is on par with normal circulation. What is this weird finish from?
Lastly, I have a 2000 P Sacagawea, circulated that has a clear raised blob on the eagle tail (I'm calling it folded tail). How interesting it this error?
