Japanese eye Lincoln penny!

Can anyone help me please with this coin? It looks like he has a Japanese look looking at the shape of the eye! Is it common or new discovery! And if yes what should I do next? Thanks

It just looks like post mint damage to me. I would spend it.

 

If I were you I would learn a little more about the minting process as that is post mint damage and just common damage in a unique position. It could easily be recreated by anyone.

 

It's just mascara! Very few knew that side of Abe.

 

Thanks for replying, I just start collecting few weeks ago, thanks for the help

 

Nothing.. If I were Japanese I would feel a bit offended by your observation.
That looks nothing like what you think it looks like.

 

Dang Paddy.... I didn't take you for the sensitive sort....

 

BEST ANSWER !!

 

Three suggestions:

1) Resist the urge to look at coins under intense magnification. It'll lead you see things that aren't really there.

2) As Razz suggested, take some time to learn about the minting process and how to recognize post-mint damage.

3) Avoid YouTube videos promising riches from finding error coins. Those guys are selling fantasies in exchange for clicks.

Thank you for replying to my post,

 

Well I did not mean anything really

 

I understand.. But you should be sensitive to other races looks, color and language... That really looks nothing like a Japanese eye at all.

Looks more like a boxer when they cut his swollen eye to release the blood!

 

Hi, I did not mean anything bad at all for anyone to

Hi, I didn’t say anything to offend anyone! Having a look or a color doesn’t make anyone offended! When you go anywhere you fell up a from ask you, are you white, black, hispanic or, what? And this is based on our back grounds and the way we look... the way we look is the way we look and we can’t change it! But if we were putting people down because of it! That’s different... and I was not doing this at all.. I hope I made my self clear! And thanks for your reply!

 

Ok.. Peace

 

Gim’me a break!!!

 

What's wrong now? That's all you know what to do! Complain and add nothing of value!

 

Are you aware that Abe was shot twice at the Ford Theater? The first bullet missedand grazed his eye. The second one killed him.

 

I didn’t know that
