A Few Multi-Error Cents with Great Photos from Todd!

Here are a few multi-error Lincoln cents I just got back from being photographed from Todd. I'm curious if anyone can see what NGC states as "damage" on the first one. I know some of you aren't crazy about the edgeview holders, but I really like them, especially on clipped errors. And on this triple clip, it's an interesting coincidence that the NGC prongs are located in the same position as the clips.

It is strange that the first one gets a "Damaged" attribution but the others don't. Maybe just that the intended strike is too far gone to be properly graded?

 

Well if you look at the first one on the reverse the zinc looks scraped or something. Other than that not really sure why it was labeled damaged, but that is what I thought when looking at the coin.

Once again - nice coins all of them.

 

This is what Fred Weinberg (the error Guru) said on the other forum about the "damaged" coin:

The Indent area of that first coin has
been 'bent', probably caught in a counting
or rolling machine.

See the dark 'zinc' line running up and down on
both sides of that indented area - that's what
I'm talking about.

That's why NGC called it damaged - it's an error,
but it's also damaged after it was struck.

 

This may sound dumb but can these kind of error coins be found in rolls and if not how do they get out of the mint and into circulation. I am sure the mint ships them out in bags but to get to most banks are they not rolled first? I just wondered if i could find these because I am not sure enough to buy one raw from Ebay. Thanks for taking the time to help.

 

Oh by the way Penny Lady those like the toned cents on the other post are pretty cool.

 

I don't think many of the major errors like these make it into circulation. The ones that are destroyed by the mint are usually found in bags and plucked out by employees handling those bags along the way (mint, Brinks and other transporters, bank workers, etc.) Other than the clipped errors, errors like these wouldn't make it into rolls, for obvious reasons.
