Errors or? On this 1957 Lincoln wheat

I'm new at this, but even I can see alot going on with this penny. Will you guys impart your wisdom and tell me what you see? This way I can see if I'm learning anything or if I should go back to ceramics. Pardon my bad photography please.

To help you learn, tell us what you think you see and where on the coin. Not bad pictures BTW!

 

There are a lot of scratches.

 

This is a test for the OP not for you.

 

That's actually really good photography by comparison to what we're used to seeing.

For comparison, what would a 62 year old ceramic pot (or anything else) look like after constant use with minimal care whilst changing hands thousands of times ? And keep in mind, copper is a lot softer than ceramic.

 

There is a "BIE" in the word " LIBERTY" on the obverse.
This is a rather common die break on Wheat cents from
1945-1958. On the reverse there are several scratches
including a huge one thru the "UN" of "UNITED". The
rim dings that are noticeable on the reverse are distracting.
So in revue, the "BIE" is a plus. The other mentioned
items are a big negative. Value of your cent is one cent.

 

Good job!

 

If you ask my wife, I do something of value every once
in a while. Kinda like the blind squirrel finding an acorn.

 

I thought your test was for the OP? Tibor is not the OP.

Yes, that's what I thought. Oh well.

 

Reach out and touch someone. Anyone!

Did I do something wrong? If I did don't tell my wife.

 

I can't, I just can't.

 

"Reach out and touch someone. Anyone!"
Last time I did I spent three weeks in the county lock-up.

 

Not literally...….figuratively!

Chris

 

wow, full circle back to the 1957 cent ...

lol

 

Still waiting on a response from the OP.

 

she'll think we are nuts & never come back

If that's for me I'll start with the cashews.
