The 1936 Lincoln series had quite a few obverse dies that were created from a working hub that had a broken R in LIBERTY. Your coin was struck from one of those "broken R" dies.

 

Yup.

 

thank you

 

Well, if an error is something less than perfection, then yes, it is an error.

The questions then are: 1) how rare is it; and 2) is it an error people are willing to pay a premium for?

It appears that cents exhibiting an R like yours are common and there are probably enough are around to meet demand. Therefore, any premium would be minimal (if any). However, I do not think this is the kind of error collectors just have to have as part of their Lincoln collection. It is probably undesirable, thus would not be sought after by most, especially those looking for a coin with full details.

 

i get it thank you !

 

i collect those types very nice coin

 

Anytime. Now, I would still keep it and put it in a 2x2 for future reference.

Off topic--your images are so sharp and clear! You must have a great camera.

Yup, I use an older model of the same scope. For around $50 it can't be beat.
