2019 Error Penny: Coin Plating Errors

2019 Shield cent errors and varieties exist! For example, this 2019-D Lincoln cent specimen is a rare partially plated planchet mint error cent coin. Have you found any rare pennies like this 2019 error penny?

Furthermore, it’s known as “incomplete plating,” and “occurs when a zinc cent planchet is not fully coated with copper in the plating bath. As a result, the zinc core remains exposed.” – CoinWorld

For instance, the partially unplated zinc planchet error shows how the copper plating didn’t completely cover the planchet, as seen in the images of this 2019 shield penny error.

“This type of plating error coincides with the introduction of copper-plated zinc cents in 1982.”

“As with any denomination cent weights can vary, with some falling above or below the mean.”

It’s therefore possible to encounter a genuine unplated cent that matches or exceeds the weight of a normal cent.” In other words, this coin weighed about average. Furthermore, the zinc Lincoln cent coin is 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper.

“The copper-plating operation of copper coated zinc planchets is done outside the Mint, by an outside supplier. Partial and 100% unplated cents are much scarcer than many collectors realize.” – Fred Weinberg

Partially Unplated Planchet Error Penny Values

Zinc cent plating planchet errors have attained interest through eye appeal to numerous variety and error coin collectors. For example, a rare 1992-D partially unplated Lincoln cent mint error coin graded MS66 by NGC, sold at auction for $85.00.

A rare 1983 Lincoln Cent Partially Unplated Penny graded MS65, sold at auction for $225.00! Moreover, partially unplated coin errors sell from a few dollars up to thousands, even in raw condition.

Finding One Cent Errors & Varieties

I recommend joining a few coin collecting groups and online coin forums to ask any questions about your coins. You won’t know what you’ve found unless you ask around. The more eyes on your coin the better.

Moreover, the coin hobby isn’t just an activity, it’s a community. Manners matter so be civil! Furthermore, the best chance of finding a doubled die variety coin or error penny just like this exquisite 2019 Lincoln shield cent, is by searching through uncirculated original wrapped bank rolls for them.

Coin Hunting Tips

Additionally, if you’re new to coin collecting, remember to save any wheat pennies you start finding, because you can already trade them in for double their face value in any United States coin shop!

Furthermore, searching 2019 mint sets for varieties and errors ensures a high mint state grade coin. For example, observe a 2003 S Maine proof struck through string state quarter error.

Moreover, some wheat pennies may turn out to be worth far more money, especially if found out to be a rare Cherrypicker, or otherwise famous die variety. For instance, check out this 1957 D RPM Variety Lincoln Wheat Cent.

Watch the examination footage of this 2019 Lincoln shield cent planchet plating coin error in the video above. Then, learn more about “diagnostics of fake and genuine unplated zinc cents,” as discussed by CONECA. Happy hunting!

Additionally, sold listings on Ebay indicate they’re worth more than face value. Moreover, I found this quarter searching through a box of quarters I obtained from a local bank.

“In God We Rust” Struck-through Error Coin

According to The Spruce Crafts, “Like all mechanical machines, a lubricant is needed in the coin press to prevent the metal parts from causing friction to each other. In the event of this coin’s strike, some lubricating grease had escaped from the machinery onto the surface of the coin die.

As a result, the grease plugged up the letter T in TRUST. In other words, the T failed to transfer from the die to the coin. This type of error coin is called a struck through grease filled die (or just “filled die”) error.”

“The sunflower is the state flower of Kansas, hence its nickname, “the Sunflower State.” Sunflowers are among the largest annual flowers around, although they also come in smaller forms. Their seeds nourish several kinds of wildlife as well as people.” – usmint.gov.
