[QUOTE="huntsman53, post: 84262, member: 1242"]Ruinz, If in fact you have a 1961 Lincoln Cent that has also been struck with the Reverse of a Nickel Die then you have what is called a (6 Cent) "Mule" error. Mule errors are extremely rare, highly sought after and fetch big bucks, especially in Uncirculated condition. Even a decent circulated specimen should bring a fair price! In your first posting, you stated that you could see the Nickel stamp under the Cent (Penny) stamp. If in fact the coin (Cent Planchet) was first struck with a Nickel Die or Nickel Dies then struck with the Cent Dies, then this may be very significant in the Error World and could increase the value of the coin very significantly. As far as I can remember from all of the articles that I have seen and read, most or all known Mules were struck with their' intended denomination first before being struck with the secondary denomination! Please try to get some pictures posted of the coin, so that we can determine if you in fact have a Mule or not. Also, if the coin is in fact a Mule, then i am sure that everyone here on the Coin Talk Forum would love to see it! I hope you really have a 6 Cent Mule and that is one that I noted in my second paragraph! Good luck! Frank[/QUOTE]
