So, I am going through some more of the Lincolns I had put aside for re-researching and find this one: Okay, so what is so special about this one? Turn the page...
Okay, so it has a couple extra rims... soooooo what? Then I decided to put it in one of those rubbery holders that go into slabs... then I discovered this:
Thanks for posting! Great find. I have run across a few of these (many rim) cents and was wondering how they happened and do they add any value. Do you know?
Nice find! Looks to be about XF-45, (without the damage, won't attempt to net it, lol). Still, a pretty neat coin IMO, congrats! :thumb: Phoenix
Well Noost... I really am not certain how the multi-rimmed coins happen. The 1920 P Lincoln I posted recently is a (MAD) MisAligneD die, and it also had a rotated reverse, which I am told is a fairly common occurrence. I think it is possible for the die to strike the rim more than once while the blank coin is in the collar. I know someone on this forum must have the exact explanation for this minting error process Noost... HELP!! Is anyone out there who can explain this much better than I can??? jeankay
I've seen similiar things like this on dimes (clad) and I have a Washington quarter that is has like 3-4 strikes (for lack of better way to phrase it) on the rim. I believe that this is a type of MAD also? I could be wrong, but I believe it might be? Lol, I do know, that is neat. :thumb: Phoenix
Thanks Phoenix... the damage really ruins this coin as a nice contender for my album. Nevertheless, it is a mighty nice looking 1920 P Lincoln if you don't put a magnifying glass to it, but XF45... whoa! jeankay
OOPS! Sorry Noost... I don't know if the coin has any extra value because of this. Of course, if I were to list it with a certain (don't want to use four letter words here) on a certain auction site as "RARE!", then chances are I could get a few dollars for it. jeankay
What's wrong with the XF-45 grade, lol? (I said without the damage, the damage brings it down some. ) Phoenix
Well Phoenix... if you grade only the reverse then maybe the total grade would be about XF45... ;o} jk
edge rolled improperly? Is it possible that the things visible around the rim originated on the planchet before it was struck in the coining chamber? Perhaps the blank's edge got rolled improperly & then got coined. Then again, maybe it’s just your typical quadruple strike in collar. Let us know what you find out. Very best regards, collect89
Hi Collect, You know, strange as it seems, I hadn't consider the first step of the rim being formed. That is something I need to explore. And, when I find out I will get back to everyone about it. jeankay (Can someone loan me a brain?)
Sorry jean can't loan ya my brain it's been lost at the cleaners for years , And I'm still waiting on a replacement . rzage
