<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DantheGrey, post: 164256, member: 6704&quot;]I&#039;ve recently acquired a 1944 /wheat back Lincoln 1C error coin, I&#039;m interested in the opinion of others and curious if you&#039;ve seen anything like this before.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m gonna try and include some pics with this but I&#039;m new to this site and not familiar with how things work just yet. So here&#039;s the paticulars for this coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It appears to have been struck 3 times.</p><p>The obverse shows the date and most of Lincoln&#039;s bust, now rotate it counterclockwise from 12 o&#039;clock to 9 o&#039;clock and strike it again.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You have the date from one strike at 3 o&#039;clock and the legend LIBERTY from the other strike at 10 o&#039;clock.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Lincoln&#039;s torso is now doubled but the back 1/5 of his head is missing (flattened out). The legend IN GOD WE TRUST now reads D WE TRUST but doesn&#039;t show any signs of doubling.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>At the right angle you can see the original legend LIBERTY flattened under the suit coat second strike but you can also see what looks like the 19 from date of the second strike in the suit coat as well. But what flattened and or deformed the second strike date? The third strike.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When you look at the reverse this becomes apparent because this is an alphabet soup nightmare. The right half, maybe a little less, appears completely normal.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The left half begins to run off the coin, downhill. Rotate the coin clockwise to 1 o&#039;clock and strike, rotate to 2 o&#039;clock and strike. The left wheat stalk has now grown to the 11:30 position and you feel like you need to see an Eye Doctor.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Long description but there&#039;s alot going on with this coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thx</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>can&#039;t figure out how to upload attachments, I will try again later.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ATTACH]13892.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]13893.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
