revisiting this one as i posted it years ago but ow have a microscope here is the thing - it has incuse reverse letters which would make you think it came from a vise job, but here is the thing, there are what looks like god that is not include on the far left edge also look at the lamination or ripples in the copper or whatever around the "in god" also, if it as a vise job what is the date, liberty and motto not flattened or otherwise disrupted....
It's in bad shape but I agree that it is a Double Struck Cent. You can see the top of Lincoln's head from the first strike.
so here are some more picture that show all the incuse stuff too...across lincoln, along the edges, etc...any other thoughts welcome - thanks a ton!!!
so its not a rough as it looks in the pics, but is it worth sending off to see if PCGS or someone can figure out what happened to it and would it carry a premium?? Thanks!
