Afternoon All,

Just joined the forum and waiting for my paid membership info. Used to collect as a kid but got away from it over the years. Reorganizing and clearing out old household items and came across a number of my old coins and also found some error pennies that my father had many years ago. Researching to see what I can find out about them. Was wondering if anyone could point me towards more information. First penny only has the obverse, reverse does not appear to have been struck. I went thru the error terms but didn't see anything that matched this one.

Second penny was struck off center.

Any help would be appreciated!

Welcome aboard.
In my opinion, as for the reverse missing on the Lincoln cent, I cannot tell if some one removed the reverse with a lathe, emery cloth or if it is a bonefide error. The photo is simply too dark for my tablet. And when I zoom in, it's blurry. The obverse, from what I can see looks heavily worn, I don't know if that's due to wear or some some of abrasive.

Any chance at getting a photo of the reverse with some more light on the subject ?

Thanks. I was able to apply some better lighting and it certainly seems that it may have been altered or damaged. Lots of scratches but feels very smooth to the touch. The obverse looks like it's been altered/damaged also under the better lighting. Here are the pictures.

While I was taking new pictures, I retook pictures of the strike error also. What do you think about that one?

Thanks!
