I found this a while ago, figured it was nothing, but I can't stop looking at it.. I'm still learning but is this a strike throu, I can see Lincoln imprint on the back of the coin. Front of coin is stamped well. It's very hard to get a good picture but here is a few.. what do you think?
I'm no where near being an expert on error coins but it's possible you have this: http://www.error-ref.com/progressive-indirect-design-transfer/ Calling on the experts: @Fred Weinberg; @mikediamond; @paddyman98; @furryfrog02; @desertgem; et al Maybe they can explain why the obverse is so mushy looking.
That does look like a die deterioration.. I'll wait little longer maybe some one else will comment. Wonder if it's worth keeping or just a nother penny.
+1 for Progressive Indirect Die Transfer. It does not really add any value to your coin. IMO It is a nice clean example.
I also think Indirect Die Transfer. Could be a slightly thinner than normal planchet. I know that not everyone has a gram scale but the weight of the coin in question would be good.
I ment it looks like indirect transfer like Thomas said. I didn't mean to say die deterioration I had my mind on other things.. thanks again
