Wheat Penny stamped on one side only [решено]

Can anyone identify the cause and the value of this mis-stamped Wheat Penny?

Welcome to Numista!

I'm not an expert on either errors or Wheat pennies, but your coin seems to me more like defacement from a post-mint source rather than an error to me. I can still see traces of Lincoln's bust on the second and third photos you posted. If I'm right it's worth 0.01 USD, but I might well not be.

Thank you!
I do see what you're seeing.. you may be correct.
Thanks for your opinion.

Iam not sure about that. With a mirror of cents on the front may be a error. Were one coin stayed in the die an another was pressed.

oh look up block die or blockage

That also sounds like a probability, I'll check out block die or blockage.
Thanks for the tip.

I think you are right! Found this link that has a photo that looks like the same issue my coin has.
Good tip!!

Aye, you learn something new every day!

If this did happen at the Mint...do you think it adds value to the coin?

Is it just me or is the font size on the reverse much bigger than it's supposed to be? Looks like an enlarged version where the wheat doesn't even fit anymore.

​Yes. It looks like a "squeeze job" done from a higher denomination (with bigger lettering) or some fantasy penny.

This coin appears to me to have been, for a better word, counter stamped. The lettering is of different sizes as if someone was doodling, but it my well have been an error coin and the doodling may well have been by a mint employee.

Here is the writing turned upright and flipped 180°:



As you can see, the letters are far from being perfectly angular, e.g. the horizontal bars in the E and T of CENT. Daryl may well be right that this is brockage. Is it possible --and this is a wild guess-- that a cent got stuck in upper die and kept on expanding as more and more blanks were being struck???

look at this cent, the lettering looks very similar (also expanded): http://coinauctionshelp.com/brockage-strike-mint-error/

brockage it is

​Convinced me now. Wonder if an employee might have gotten bored, but makes for a nice error coin.

​I'd like to thank everyone for their input, comments and expertise, it looks like the consensus is brockage!

If you ever decide to sell it, I'm pretty sure you'll get a much better price if you have it certified first. Most people are (rightly) suspicious of such spectacular errors, but with certification from a reputable US grading firm, they'll buy or bid with confidence.

I don't usually care for certified items, and some of you know that I open the case or sleeve when I happen to buy them, but in the case of a valuable item or one that could easily look like a fake, such as a spectacular error or valuable ancient coin, I would happily bid much higher for a certified item.

​I will certainly take your advise, now i just need to find a grading firm that can verify and certify the coin in the New York tristate area, thank you.

Good to see it may be a nice one. I think it is. Camerinvs is right get it graded
