Lincoln super weak punch

Not sure of the date but the reverse looks normal.

Looks like it was either struck through a grease filled die or was struck through a capped die.

 

Thanks for the info & I am guessing no way to find year on it and is it worth getting graded?

 

I've got a few of these, I'll post pictures when I get home. Some have easier to read years than others, it appears that your example is one of those harder to read years. If I had to guess I would say that your coin is from the 1960s or 70s, there were a lot of these kinds of errors produced then.

 

Thanks again and would like to see some of the ones you post

 

It looks to be a struck through Capped Die.
You can grade any coin. For a mint error you also have to pay for a Attribution fee. It gets costly.

 

Weight? To tell between copper or zinc…but no to grading, not valuable enough to offset fees. @paddyman98 would have better advice as resident error guru.

edit to add: sorry, crossed with Ed’s post.

 

It's zinc.

Based on the reverse design it was made between 1992 and 2008.

Shoot, now that I look at it closer I'm seeing spots of zinc rot. You're right!

 

It looks a little like a ground down face to me, but will wait for more info. Jim

 

Capped die
To me the outside of the rim surfaces look the same on the obverse and reverse sides

 

Struck through capped die. +1

You can see a wave through the face, typical from a capped die. Probably not worth slabbing but worth a flip in my opinion. See what they are fetching online. I see one site estimate $150 for an obverse cap but the brockage (your specimen) has to be worth much less.

Fun find!

 

Also in the capped die camp.
Nice find Johnny.

 

Here is my example, I think it's dated 1965.

 

Yes…Close AM…everything was previously Wide AM…good catch, I shoulda thought of that…Spark

 

Thanks everyone very much appreciate the info I get back with the weigh

 

Sharp coin Eli!

 

Nice thank you for sharing

 

The reverse details on both coins look pretty sharp.

 

Thanks. I was just going to ask paddyman that question.
