2014 Lincoln Cent Is It Worth Sending To A Error Expert

I also put up some images of " MARKERS " too

They look like flow lines to me. Die deterioration.

 

Flow lines ripple out from the center. These appear to be radiating.......

 

it stamped really well, high grade, and amazing it also has a full set of hair too, most of them are burned out, lines running through the hair

 

I originally said radial flow lines and then edited my post. It looks like this to me:

Coin aren't stamped, they are struck.

I agree with flow lines (which often goes hand-in-hand with die deterioration, as they are both the product of an aging die)...not worth sending to an expert IMO.

 

Learned something......

 

now thoses are some flow lines lol

 

Still, if we were experiencing severe die erosion then why is the coin striking up so nicely?

 

good question, wheres the error experts when you need them, I'm going to send Mr. Potter the link to this thread, hopefully he will show-up, or email me

 

Do you have him on speed dial? Just wondering...

 

Email John Wexler site.
Good eyes Richard .

 

Heres all the originals of the obverse, before cropping

 

I have his cell number lol

 

don't mind me, but I was just looking at the 2014 DDO posted, http://www.cointalk.com/threads/major-2014-ddo-discovered.246265/ and there seams to be some flow lines on that one too, around the date, liberty, everything else for images are close-ups, no-way to tell

 

Somewhat, yes, but not as strong as yours, and the presence of one does not indicate the presence of the other. On that coin, you can see extremely strong distortion and notching, the same cannot be said for your coin.

 

This image isn't perfect, but it doesn't have to be to tell the difference. I did this quickly. Ray Charles could tell the difference.

 

Rick, I just put an article on the CONECA website regarding the 2014 DDO. Take a look. This looks to me like die deterioration based on these pictures.

 

Jim M is most notable.......

 

ya, I'm going to get a new scope shortly, need more xxx, to show doubling closer, cleans up a lot better with more xxx, lol I'll bring it to the coin show, its a lot better in hand, thats for sure, thanks Jim, and everybody else too, I have more to look at, don't buy rolls, the stores around me get a lot of them
