Are you sure that is Lincoln sitting with his head down? It looks like a tourist taking a break to me.

 

lol..Look at the arms which are proped up like he should be in his chair. I've searched everywhere to find anything like this and I cant, I really hope I found the HOLY GRAIL of lincolns.

 

I don't know how to break this to you but you will need to keep looking for the Holy Grail. This ain't it.

 

Has anyone ever seen this error before?

 

You mean to tell me the mint did not go though the process of producing special dies, just to strike one unique coin, and place it into circulation 52 years ago?


OP,

Seriously? No offense intended, but have you really thought this through?

 

Sorry but like I said before I am new to this, like really new so please excuse my ignorance.

 

As strange as it may seem I think you are correct.

 

So does this mean it is unique?

 

Hello? Anyone?

 

No apology necessary and I am sorry if I came across as being harsh. My only point was that logic goes a long way. If you think about it, how could there be another Lincoln, of a totally different never-used design, on the same coin unless intentionally done (along the same lines as the "Superbird" quarter). It didn't happen. It's nothing more than a die break of some sort and quite common.

If you are going to search cents, please allow me to recommend two websites...

doubleddie.com (John Wexler)

coppercoins.com

The former has tons in information on varieties, minting, etc and should be both informative and very helpful to you.

 

So there is other 1960 d's with the same error?

 

Nothing about die cracks or die breaks creating this error infact there is no other lincolns with this die known to exsist.

 

To add to that there is no other coins with anything similar out there and if you look closely there is no cracks in or around the figure. He is sitting perfectly on the step as if it were meant to be part of the die...Im confused but I can not find anything at all similar to it

 

To the far left I see an object sticking out from one the rows of steps but I don't think that has anything to do with the die.

Can you please point out what it is you are telling us to look at. Maybe circle it the area in a program such as Microsoft Paint.
I must be blind as a bat because I only see one Lincoln.
I'm clearly not seeing what you're seeing.

 

Are you talking about the handrail or whatever its called on the left of the stairs? If so its just looks like that from circulation.

 

Looks like a die chip to me.

 

Just a small die chip... no added value. Your cent is worth... well, one cent. However, I keep all coins I find with "extra" devices... someday I'll list them on eBay along with the thousands of other non-errors.

 

It's PMD, look at what the OP calls arms, the difference in color indicate a gouge of some kind where the metal was displaced.

Nothing to see here, move along.

 

I'll stay with die chips, That color difference is just a reflection of that raised "arm", same as on the rim and upper portion of the building on the left. In any case, no extra value.
