Strange lincon cent error. Never seen one like it.

Anyone know what type of error this is? One error is on the 9 and the other on the reverse. Thanks

I do not see the 9, but the reverse is not an error, but glue or similar material.

 

yup

 

Its not glue. i already put it in a solvent for that so its extra metal, or possable strike through

 

What solvent did you use?

 

A lot of glues will not dissolve in anything - i.e. epoxy or hot melt. Even super glue is pretty resistant to just about anything except acetone. If it is raised (I believe it is), it was added to the coin. Just about the only other possibility would be solder and that sure does not look like solder to me. That only leaves glue, lacquer, plastic or similar.

 

Just a bunch of crud on it. PMD.

 

Reminds me of JB Weld on the back of the cent. The date is PMD. Took a hard hit to the '5'.

 

Usually, when a newbie gets the correct answer and not the answer they want, they disappear.
I think that this is the case here.

 

I'm also amused when the thread has "Never seen one like it" or "Never found before error" or something similar. The thread almost always is about a "man-made error" which the poster is adamant is an authentic error and is extremely valuable regardless of what they are told.

 

I agree. If it's so unique and valuable, I wonder why they bother to come here with their "treasure", instead of straight to Ebay?

 

Ebay's usually their next stop.

....but some do go straight to ebay:

2 of them available?

 

:yes:

 

Glue, epoxy or residue.....PMD.

 

the Ebay coin in this thread looks real but I doubt if it is worth the asking price but one never knows how bad someone else wants something. this coin looks to have a small lamination flake under the last number in the date. on the 2 available part the Ebay seller probably made a typo there.

 

Even more if there is a good market!
