<p>[QUOTE="VDB, post: 24549691, member: 82270"]This one is for the error enthusiasts. I recently found this 1968-D Lincoln Cent in a bank roll. Right away it stood out due to its higher grade and strong luster. Upon closer examination there is a very well defined die crack running through Abe’s hairline, as evident in the photo. The reverse also has unusual features. If you take a close look in between the columns of the Lincoln Memorial building you can see evidence of some sort of design or imprint to the right of center. Inside the left side of the columns there are diagonal lines parallel to each other. The uniformity of these features on the reverse indicate a design of some sort rather than just an uneven planchet flaw. My first thought was that it was a clashed die, but the “design” does not resemble the obverse. Most of these features can be seen with a naked eye and are pretty clear in the photos. It would be nice to know exactly what caused this. Has anyone seen anything similar or is familiar with this variety? Any input is welcome and would be greatly appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
