I found a wierd 1982 lincoln in my change from a gas station i went to. It is a non-luster coin with a "L" shaped or angle type "L" on the obverse below the memorial. Right in the middle of nowhere. I tried seeing if it would come off but it wont. Looks maybe like a Die Break? If that would be correct..any help is appreciated. And for the second coin i found. It is a 1999 lincoln...and it looks as though it has a wide AM. Is this one of the dates to have it. Can someone post a pic so i can determine if it really what i think it is. Any comparisons to a regular coin would be great. Sorry no pics can be posted at the moment....ill try. Peter
Ok...this is a NORMAL business strike: BELOW is the reverse (type II, wide A M) worth the $$$$$: Now compare what you have with the above!
Sorry midas for being nieve..ok what i have is the one that is NORMAL BUSINESS STRIKE. The AM are really close and basically almost touching compared to the other one. My coin isant a proof coin, does this matter? Now what is this one worth? So i have the TY-1 1999 wide AM. Price check? And for the 1982 cent it is a raised mark which really confuses my because this means that nobody put it there.
I asked because I was wondering if it was perhaps a dropped letter error, but it sounds like it's not. So now I wonder if it's just a die crack or possibly a die gouge. Can you post a pic ?
