Agreed. I think you can find some like it or better if you look close. Have a good weekend of detecting.
There may be very slight die deterioration damage on the reverse, but the rest is physical damage as most have indicated. We do realize there are some websites where individuals get paid for clicks or subscriptions and they get more people with the " $10,000 COINS in your pocket now!!" type of ads, but truth is truth, and I think you have received the typical replies, some a little quarky, but their technical opinions are sound. ANACS is probably the lesser expensive grader if you wish to submit it to professionals ( of whom, some are on the forum as members) who will charge you money to say that they see. IMO, Jim
Please someone kill me. I can't take reading posts from people this one sided that will not take any bad news about there coin.
I don't understand why people join to ask questions from those with experience and then won't believe them. If their mind is made up they should just keep it to themselves.
I suspect they think they have a 'real one' from our youtube friends and they feel we are trying to obtain it from them at little cost.
Sounds reasonable. Or, they've told all their family and friends about the rare coin and now have to back it up.
If you think everyone is wrong then send it to PCGS OR NYC for grading. Then come back and show us the slab. They will send it back with NO ERRORS! Good Luck.
It will come back as a damaged details coin. Then it will be worth less than a penny, as now it will cost more than one cents effort to get it out of the holder to spend it.
I see someone who is looking for confirmation of a nonexistent error on a damaged circulated LMC to bolster confidence for flipping on eBay. I think it should be attributed also just in case everyone else missed something that isn't visible in the pictures. No offense is intended to the OP.
I think it's the "Lincoln got beat up in the alley" error. Even if there was some sort of mint error, which I don't see, it would never get straight graded by any reputable TPG.
this is not bout grading for me it is about do you see the extra face of Lincoln pressed in silver. i think folks forget this is can be about strange coins also found unexplained. Most so far here is crying damaged beat up.. but are they seeing the other image of Lincoln in silver? two faces in one one in silver how was this caused? you are saying this is just caused by damage..so how did the silver appear making an extra face in detail from top of Lincolns head to the neck area? and what is silver in the form of Lincoln doing in a copper penny anyway?
