    Why do you consider this a mule?

    No Way.. It's a Cent with Environmental Damage :yack:
    The plating was compromised and the inner Zinc will rot.
    Stained.

    Bossy the Environmental however that's not what I'm talking about I'm talking about the wing on each side of his head you can even see feathers in it and the first row of feathers towards the top of the pretty distinct. It does have a environmental rot however the 8th is distorted and pushed way down to mint mark I don't know that matters because of the deterioration however the wings the feathers it has to be well you don't have to be however if it's not somebody's playing a cruel joke on me haha

    Also when I put a quarter up next to it it lines up perfect for the wings I'm talking to perfect

    A mule is a coin struck by dies that don't match. This is clearly struck with the proper dies, Lincoln obverse Lincoln Memorial reverse. I see the shapes you are talking about, but it appears to be just toning or staining. I really see no way the design of a quarter could be there.

    Not a mule. If there is a quarter impression on this coin, someone stuck it in a vise, or, heated it together with the penny.

    Did anybody notice that the L is behind Lincoln's head rather than where it should be this coin is full of surprises

    Stain. It sat under a quarter while it was exposed to something in the environment. I vote grape juice in the cup holder when Johnny's sippy cup leaked.

    However, given the zinc rot, it's not long for this world. And should be put out of it's misery.

    That is just a plating bubble behind Lincoln's head, not an L.

    I can tell the quarter has a 15° rotation to the right. I just cant tell if .......even with the rot if it were it would still hold small premium so ill hold it till i can get MORE MAGNIFICATION
