I recently came across this 1988 Lincoln that I'd like to get some opinions on. Is this an Error ? The Rim is thick left all the way to the top.
A typical poor strike from Philly with a lot of die polishing going on to try and save the die from retirement. Not an error.
there is a few 1988 out there with 89 reverse, yours is not one of them. you can tell by the FG initials.
It's barely a mis-aligned die, and I wouldn't call it that in fact. Don't forgot, coins are struck in huge quantities, and in any manufacturing process, there will be minor 'anomalies'. These are not errors, just minor striking differences.
