It looks like someone may have rubbed that down with a file? Metteo80: Wait for the experts to give their opinions! Thanks,
@Matteo80 It is probably the result of a partially grease-filled die. Even if you knew what this kind of error was called, it is very unlikely that you would find another just like it online. This is one of the very common errors that you won't find in any sort of classification, and it's only worth 1c. Chris
Custom ordered personalized coin for Berty. Nice old guy, gotta be about ninety now. Lol. @cmp9ball answered this one in fine fashion again! I might add that this is a nice example as the L and I look to be cleanly obliterated and left only a smooth surface, albeit shadows do remain. A great addition to a strike-through error collection. Not important from a Numismatic stand point. Again as Chris has stated worth=$.01. But I do love my Lincolns and I would put that sucker away in a heartbeat. Reed
