Hello to all...I was coin roll hunting today and I've come across a 1995 Lincoln Cent that seems to have a few "errors" on the reverse in the wording.....any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

I don't see anything that looks different from a normal cent. What exactly are you seeing?

 

Im seeing some "lines" in the T,E, and D in United....I just took a bunch of random pics to see if anyone else can spot anything I didn't see...

 

Cant say from the pictures is the second states is split but it looks flat not raised

 

Thats L shapped from when the coin gets ejected when its to hot the die takes metal like gum from hot street on your shoe its very commen. Also some small diebreakage. I look for errors to and its been ruff since i am new at it as well but its ruff going and a lot of reading and looking at crappy black and white photos in all the dam coin books lol did find this though 87 straight clip

 

Nice camera work but I don't see anything that's worth any money for you. Keep looking though.

 

Thanks guys! My neck hurts from looking at sooooo many coins! I guess by me still learning I think EVERY coin has an error lol!
Nice find aaustin84!

 

Thanks a guy at a coin shop told me to get a 16x loop its helped and what i did to help my neck i took a old light that has a flex neck and rigged it to the back of my computer chair. Oh did i know your pain lol good luck keep looking even so remember that you may find something thats never been seen before i have a few i need checked

 

Yeah getting a loupe is always a good idea. The questions are usually answered in the fine details. not just with errors but also with counterfeits, detecting cleaning, and the eye appeal of the coin.

 

could be trail dies, here one I have, its a 2013 heres a site for you, lots for 1995 http://www.traildies.com/

 

When the coins are struck they DO get hot, but they top out at under 200 degrees F. That is several hundred degrees below the melting point for zinc and over a thousand degrees below the meltng point for any of the other coinage metals. The die NEVER takes metal from the coin.

 

I see doubling for sure, but idk if it's the die or just struck twice

probably the latter

 

It isn't a true doubled die. I'm having a hard time even seeing MD.

 

Probably the latter then.

Common error to slip by.

 

Machine double die, very common and can be confused for an error of value. I went thru this quite often as a novice collector.

 

Not too hard to differentiate; just look at the actual DD variety and see if it matches.

If it's a DD the *die itself* is doubled, leading to a variety.

The 55 is so famous because it should not have slipped by.

THAT was some doubling.

I think this got struck more than one time though I'm interested in close-ups of the obverse. Regardless, I agree it seems like machine doubling and not a die variety.

 

I'd check it to, for wavy steps too
