    Found these for sale? Do either of them or both seem like they're possibly fakes or altered by someone post mint? Screenshot_20190829-214554.png Screenshot_20190829-214546.png Screenshot_20190829-214653~2.png Screenshot_20190829-214706~2.png

    The first coin is an off- center Lincoln Cent. It is an error struck at the Mint.

    Cool, just looked like more was going on than the other off centered errors I've seen have yet to find one for myself. Thanks again.

    I'm not an error expert but you could possibly have a off center strike with split plate doubling. Wait for the experts.

    IMO the second coin (if that's what it is, should be on a separate post).

    The Cent is a Mint error. It's struck off center. Worth about $10.00. The bottom coin, I can't comment on. Not enough experience with that type.

    Be mindful that the zinc core has been exposed in some places, and it is possible that it might corrode or degrade over time.

    Yes, I did! I got to thinking about it, and it dawned on me that someone might start using CZ for crappy zincoln. People are using too many acronyms as it is. I don't want anyone Googling CZ expecting to find a site for cubic zirconia.
