Errors are most common in the 1912 wheat penny

• Off-center errors: When the planchet is not properly positioned, resulting in a design that is off-center but still visible. 

• Die cracks and die cuds: Wear and tear on the minting die can lead to visible cracks or pits on the coin. 

• Die repunched mintmark errors: Sometimes, the mintmark is repunched at least twice, resulting in a doubled “S” mintmark. 

• Bronze planchets: In the early 1940s, some pennies were minted on copper planchets, which were then coated with zinc and steel.
