Hi, I found this recently and posted it to a Lincoln Cent forum to ask about how it happens. I got my answer but I also had someone ask about buying it and haven't got a clue what it may be worth. I am not looking to make a premium or anything and only want to know what a fair price might be. Thanks for any help you might be able to give. Ako
Nice one!!! but not being in an MS-60+ grease filled die. Maybe a 50C to a1 Dollar? But $2.00-$5.00 if there doing a year set of grease filled dies cents.just depends on what the market will pay for it
[QUOTE weak-strike?[/QUOTE] Thanks for reminding me V I didn't think of weak strike.:thumb: I still put:foot-mouth: at times!hopefully 2011 will be better:kewl:
It's not a weak strike. The gutter next to the rims is shaped. That area would be weak on a weak/trial strike.
Wow, Thanks for the great guide. I have never seen such detail on this type of error before. Is there a similar resource for other types of errors somewhere? I am still new to this and have studied most of the common errors, but there are still plenty I am unclear on. Most notably is the type of error that leaves little globs of metal on the coin. I know some refer to it as a cud, but I also read the a true cud is only ever found on the rim of a coin from a die break. I read somewhere it was referred to as a BIE or Bide, or something like that. Either way, thanks for the great info! Ako
