Hi I am new to coin collecting. I am not really a collector just enjoyed watching the YouTube videos and have been checking out some old coins and sets I purchased as a kid. I found something of interest and hope someone can help me identify if I have something of value. I will post pics and would love some feedback.

I looked up PMD and this penny was in a sealed proof set. The divot is clean very smooth. Hopefully it will show better when I send new pic. Thanks!

Hey N, interesting piece. From the photos provided, it appears that the right leg of the A extends down into the crater, if this is the case, then planchet error. As far as value, maybe Daniel or Paul would weigh in, not on specific price, but if there is value added by this. Remember cents are a world of "messed up stuff" (this is an official coin dude phrase taught to me by Fred Whiningberg), and as such, there are a lot of unique things that add no value to the coins.

Thank you for the information. I attached new photos. I hope that helps. I will do some research about sending it for someone to look at if that seems necessary.

I will have to send it in. I am not experienced enough and it seems difficult to get clear answers on the forum. Someone just needs to put an eye on it. I also have photos of another coin on this forum that has odd coloring which also is not getting good feedback because the pics can't show what is seen by the eye. I think it may have been struck on dime planchet because of its rainbow type coloring which I see on dimes. Thank you all for your time and feedback.

The coin was damaged from deep contact marks then someone replated it. So this is post mint damage.

Hey N, Big D is right, with the new photos I no longer see the A leg extending, also the shine is a sign of a replate, sorry, but keep searching

Thank you for commenting. This coin was in a proof set. When I was asked to take a pic not in its case I removed it. How could it have been replated?

I don't believe this is a "Proof Set".....
I see circulated coins in this collection.

What do you think of the penny? Thanks for your comments. I am new to this and learning the terms.
That makes sense because they are circulated. What then are these packaged sets called?

Hi N, that's not a proof set, it's a marketing set, these things are put together to market to specific demographics, this is the same concept of aftermarket birthday sets. You can get birth sets from the mint, but the aftermarket has horned in to this. Your cent is more than likely Nickle plated, they polish it and then plate it, you can even do this at home with such a small object. Sorry to burst your bubble, I thought is was something, because of the A leg illusion. This is what makes grading coins from an image so hard. Anyway Keep searching.

1943 steel cents where not released in proof sets, the coin was in a made up set, and why they replated a damaged coin.

BTW - just for your info. The grading companies do not offer a "what is this damage" opinion. You would have wasted your money sending it in for them to tell you it was damaged. Glad you asked here first :)
