And the other side of the coin?

 

coming up!

 

What do you think? Have seen these spears on much newer coins but not this old. i guess its a keeper or send out?

 

Thanks. Looks like some type of lamination error. Something like this...

 

Is that beef jerky you have that coin on?

Need a clearer picture!! (Both sides)Looks to be missing some of the date too

 

But its a copper coin,

 

I get the copper coin part. I don't get the rest?

 

There is a small, very faint spot on the reverse that makes the coin look like it's a woodie. If this is true on the obverse this could be the start of something like a lamination. The photos are not clear and too small.

Please repost both sides to show full details. Clean out the background and make them clear. Sorry. It so can't think of the correct words.

 

i noticed that lincoln's shirt collar appears to be gone till the tie. Just thought I'd throw it out there.

 

Again, like @Collecting Nut say: The photos are not clear and too small.

 

Cents are made of an alloy (mixture) of copper, tin and zinc. If the elements don't mix correctly, the alloy can break down along lines of incomplete mixing. That is what is called a lamination error...I think (Now I need to do some reading).

I though lam but...

 

Here are a couple close ups Still cool to have

 

Good pictures but take a pic of the whole coin. Try your best to make it clear. Obverse and reverse

 

It don’t look a lam. Idk...... a major die crack?

 

These photos make it look like Damage. I'll wait for clear full size pics.
