1911 P Wheat Penny Common Errors
The 1911 P Wheat Penny is known for its common errors that can significantly affect its value. Here are some of the most notable errors:
-
S over S RPM: This error occurs when the mint mark “S” is punched onto the die twice, resulting in a ghost image of the mint mark appearing slightly to the side of the original.
-
D over D RPM: Similar to the S over S RPM, this error occurs when the mint mark “D” is punched onto the die multiple times, resulting in a stacked or doubled mint mark.
-
Lamination Error: This error occurs when a layer of the coin’s surface material separates from the rest due to a flaw or imperfection in the metal during the minting process.
