Very cool. It is struck through a small perfectly round piece of scrap or maybe machinery. I can see it on eb*y now: "Lincoln with zit on forehead!!1"
Too bad there's no date. It's a Wide AM so it's pre-1993. It also looks uncirculated, so it must've slipped out of someone's collection.
I think a hard metal object (piece of machinery maybe) got struck between the front of a planchet and the hammer die. The piece put its clear...
It looks like maybe there was a struck-thru of a hardened metal object before this coin that put an impression into the dies. However, I have...
I have no idea what that shape is, but it goes around the head and letters so I do not think it is post mint damage.
Good call jcuve. I noticed in the first pic that the lone marker (a shoulder die gouge) is easily visible even on this circulated coin.
There's almost no way a dropped letter can come from the back to the front, but it could go from front to back. I have no idea what it is, but it...
It's the same picture down to the shadows. Why would you steal a picture from a web site and try to hoax us like this?
I didn't even notice that it was the same seller. I just cruise through the error coin listings when I'm bored and try to find some good deals....
Zoom in pic is too blurry, but that one looks like it might be something.
This looks like another fake one. It looks like the M took a post-mint ding moving the left leg against the A rather than being a genuine one....
Updates?
That would be really funny if the guy last year found out it was post mint damage and spent it and this guy posted the exact same coin on here. I...
Looks like a post mint chop mark.
I see a perfectly round outline in the middle which makes me think it has been machined smooth. The pics are too small for me to say for certain...
The silver isn't so much falling off during wear, but it is being compressed.
So that broke off of a coin or what?
Then it's a real cud. Very nice and medium sized. It is probably worth at least $10.
Post a pic of the reverse. If the detail is missing directly behind the area, it is a real cud.
I found this in the thread you linked to QUOTE BY KSPARROW: --------- "In 1876 we have 1/1;1/2; and 2/2 (NOTE: NO 2/1 combination)"
Separate names with a comma.
