Where's Lincoln?

I found a 1982 penny with little to no trace of Lincoln sitting in the memorial. Is this a filled die error? Thanks.

I can very faintly see him, so I would gander a guess at saying possibly an overpolished die? Could you post a pic of the whole coin?

He got tired of sitting around?
He's on the other side.....................lol.

Neat find.

 

Here you go Phoenix.

 

interesting.......

 

hes playing peak ah boo second mural to the right

 

Im placing my bet on a grease filled die.

 

I can't tell from here whether it's a filled die or a case of overzealous die polishing. It'd be one or the other, though.

 

Bathroom break?

 

Thanks for the pic, I'll stick with what I said earlier, and looks like an overpolished die. JMO. Still, neat find. :thumb:

I just noticed there's a strange dot above the O. Any ideas of what that is?

 

Thats just a bubble in the copper layer.

 

i think its a grease filled die just by the looks of it.

 

You're a sick puppy you know that Johndo?

I should know as that was the first thing that I thought of! LOL!

 

Its strange that the pillers were not touched at all by ....the grease or polishing...or whatever.
