New Error Coins for the week

[mjm579]

The first one I call the "ode to Booth cent". Sorry Lincoln, may you RIP! Not sure how this error came about, may be after mint "error". The second is a 1946 wheat cent with an extended 1. The third and forth seem to have pushed portions of the copper. Any comments?

So far, I've found it's good to take possible errors to your LCS and see what they say...But then again, I don't have that good an eye for errors yet.

Sorry to play the newbie card, but what does LCD stand for?

Sorry my bad, apparently my phone decided to auto fill LCD. I assume LCS means Local Coin Shop?

No. 2 looks like raised metal and if so it is a substantial die crack. Nice find.
No. 1 and No. 3 are PMD
And No. 4 is the result of the copper plating. It is fairly common for blistering to occur with the copper plating. There is no added premium as they are so common. In fact, if you examine the zincoln cents in general under magnification, more often than not there is some degree of blistering. The cents without the blistering actually carry the premium.

Thx for the information. What is the best way to get an idea on the wheat leaf? Take it to the coin shop?

Forgot to add - it is raised metal.
