1283 lincoln penny???

this penny looks like it's from the late 1200th century... what's with that? I combined 3 different angles. Anybody have a clue what it is? Obviously the line connected to the 9 is raised.

I am guessing it is a die gouge or break, fairly common, but this one is pretty special because of the effect. Also, the 3 looks machine doubled to me. An interesting find!

 

That is a cool die chip/gouge. :thumb:

Neat error looks like a cud error.

 

Thanx for the feedback guys. I'm sure you could imagine my head twirl around a couple of times when i was going through my change and found a penny that was over 700 years old *L*

 

whoa, thats really cool!

great error find!

 

That should fetch a pretty penny, if you can find a pretty penny you'd trade for that neat one!

 

That is a cool find!

 

Imagine that....a 1283 Lincoln penny

 

Thank you Peter..for everything.Of course I had to go messing around with the new features and somehow deleted the nice BIG picture you put up for me but I like the thumbnail thing..nice!

 

i just found the article written about this coin.

But where did my picture go

 

What's interesting is that is says it was written in Feb... and citing that I posted it in Dec... OF THE SAME YEAR! that's impressive!

Did you take down your pictures, or have your rights on the website changed?

Why don't you repost the pictures?
