<p>[QUOTE="Mike Silva, post: 908492, member: 24974"]Thanks Chris, and I know that, but I also know that there are plenty of coins that were minted in either San Francisco or Philly and ended up with a different mint on it because during certain years, all dies were done in Philly and then shipped to the branch mint facilities for completion. So the point I was trying to make, is if the coin was originally produced(die) in Philly, but haves a Denver mint mark. Then the coin must have had an error to have it recycled or re-done by the Denver mint, and even then, Denver would have not been able to re-die or repunch the mint mark, which was done quite often. Again why they call it an error. I realize that a lot of differnet opinions are out there because their has never been an error like this discovered. Everyone thinks it might be a shakey hand error, but the coin was scanned with out me holding it. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate all the input I can get, because I have never seen anything like this either and the only thing close to it is a quadrupled nickel and that doesn't even show the quadtrupling to the point this coin does. It has been real interesting reading everyone's replies, please don't stop because of my defending this coin as beening the most interesting lincoln cent I've seen, even if it turns out to be MD. I hope to take a pic with a camera for those folks who don't understand the power of scanning at 2400 DPSI. No, it was not me shaking when the scan was done. Don't get me wrong, if I saw it for the first time. I might think the same thing. I always try to inform as many people that I can, that they should be using a scanner with 2400 DPSI because it brings so much to the fore front. Especially when you can check the whole coin image out or want to focus your attention on certain areas of the coin. Again, thank's for all the input from everyone and if anyone has seen this type of error before, I would really love to hear from you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
