Newp: Off Center Strike Lincoln on Multi Clipped Planchet

Hey everyone, I just learned that when you put someone on "Ignore" it wipes out their old posts in the thread too. What a great function!

Funny story: I met my wife on Match.Com. When I joined the site, you enter the characteristics of the women you wish to match with. Then you get hundreds of profiles to view. I spent several hours on a weekend DELETING anyone who's photo did not appeal to me and then hours DELETING women with something in their profile I didn't like. (Note to all. I realize that by deleting women who did not have attractive photos, I missed out on a large percentage of excellent, wonderful women - my bad.)

Anyway, by the time I finished, I broke the Match.com computer as the program was not set up to handle the many hundreds of women on one member's delete list! It took them days to fix something so that I could continue to delete more women.

The point of this story is, without trying, I'm going to see how many obnoxious, non-contributing, members I can get on my "Ignore" list.

Requesting to be put on that list will be considered on a case-to-case basis.

I thought I might be able to save you some time and effort, but alas, typing "*" in the "Ignore This Member" box does not ignore everyone.

Nothing you can do or write will get you on that list. Allowing you to use that Icon means you are very influential on CT.

 

Why do I have this feeling that you just painted an even bolder target on my back?

 

Very cool Evan. Was it a local purchase?
You did well at under a $100.
I was looking at a few errors at the show last weekend.
Minor graded strike thru's, ones that I have been known to toss back to the wild were going for over $150.

 

Count me as one of those persons. Frankly, transactions between dealers or other collectors, are nobody's business but my own. Dealers respect me by not telling others what they bought or sold from me, and that works both ways.

If you are trying to understand price points for error types, there are tons of data out there on icollector, Stacks Bowers, Heritage, and eBay. Being a member of CONECA also opens up a ton of resources available to you on errors as well.

That said, I digress a bit, because if someone posts an error and wants a ballpark estimate of value, I have no issues with providing approximate value to expect when either buying or selling.

 

@Insider Well Skip, in answering your question about how much someone pays for a certain piece... as was said on a Star Trek movie once-"Captain: May I ask, how did you defeat the Kobyashi Maru Maneuver?" to Captain Kirk, who replied "You can ask". I might offer that info up but I really do not think it's anyone's business how much any one coin or my whole collection is worth. That's like putting a target on my back for a thief and break in even though all my valuable stuff is in a SDB. We had someone here some time back that kept asking how much silver and gold did we own and did so on a regular basis. And the ones who ask where we store it. See where I'm going with this? Maybe it's better if folks PM others this request/info and then it's easier to control. Just a thought.

 

Hey, at least it didn't go down with all your firearms in the boat accident, right?

 

I think I know ALL the reasons as I've had this discussion many times over the years about all sorts of things. For example, I'll never understand why coworkers and companies keep what they get paid/pay a deep dark secret. I'd be happy to tell anyone I work with what I get paid. Same thing discussing anything I purchase.

Lots of the things we do in life are nobody's business; however, I find that most of the time I show something neat to most people, the first thing out of their mouth is...

So, in spite of all the reasons - I even named two myself, I still don't understand. The fact that Evan shared the cost of that coin puts it into perspective. IMO, after a little research that would have been unnecessary if his cost was in the PO, he got a very, very, very, very good deal. I guess I would not have known that if I was not curious to look up what they sell for so that's a plus. Perhaps one day I'll find one as nice and stumble upon a cheap price

 

What makes it "off center"? Where's the center?

 

I didn't know how to put my feelings into words this clearly. Saying I was a spoiled, only child would not convey it this well.
Thanks Kentucky!

 

Explains EVERYTHING!

 

Not local. It was ebay. I watch ebay too much so I tend to stumble upon sellers who don't know what they have.

 

That was typically my most productive hunting ground, too.

 

I must be on everyone's ignore list.

I make myself proud.

 

I don't ignore you. It technically could be called off center since I doubt it sat in the collar perfectly center.
I however do not know what to call it. Maybe struck webbing? If we classify it as a multi clipped planchet that got struck, which I have seen many examples of, we cant ignore the un-struck section. So in my mind, a multi clip off center strike makes sense lol.

 

Fair enough. I think Struck Webbing is 100% accurate. No further descriptors needed, except maybe whether date/mm are visible or not.

Was joking about iggy.

I like your description; but what about struck on a fragment? Wait until the professional error dealers reply.
