I just found this one in a roll I searched and it looks like a Mint Error but I'm not sure.. there is no rough edges that would make it look cut. Just wondering if this is a common thing. Thanks.

I don't think it is since you can see the outline of Lincoln's shoulder a bit in the cut.   10-27-2009, 03:45 PM   #8 (permalink) Captainkirk 73 Buick Riviera owner     Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Girard PA Posts: 1,296 My Mood: Blog Entries: 1 It looks like either post-mint or it was partially struck by a capped die. Hard to tell. The shiny edge points to damage, good close-ups might help determination.   10-27-2009, 04:01 PM   #9 (permalink) punicater I like odd coins   Join Date: Oct 2009 Location: somewhere Posts: 25 My Mood: Now that i examined it more i changed my mind Post mint damage.

If the coin were in the collar this couldn't have happened. PMD in my opinion.

In the first photo the metal against Lincoln's shoulder, the copper vertical edge looks clean and untoned. My thoughts that if it happened at the mint in 1975 that all of the metal edges would share the same tone/color. Every other surface seems to have toned the same why not that one, if it happened 33 years ago? Plus I don't know how that damage would happen at the mint.

I really can't tell from the photos. __________________ Jason Cuvelier CoinGallery - CONECA & ANA - www.cuvelier.org (all images I use are ©Jason Cuvelier 2008-09)   Page 1 of 3 1 2 3 > Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
