I study Lincoln Cents and even with in one year the coins will look different than the previous year - you cannot even begin to compare what you see in a 1976 Lincoln to a coin 250 years ago. Reminds me of the guy on eBay who found the double urns and we kept telling him and telling him but he still saw it so it must be valuable.</p><p>Look we don&#039;t take questions and determination or errors lightly we want to find out what it is but we must go one step further. We must through argument, experience and knowledge be able to back up our determination with known minting technology&#039;s and processes.</p><p>We not only know then we know &quot;how we know&quot; - that&#039;s what makes the difference in a novice and a specialist. So here it is, your coin was hit by something and is barely worth one cent and I would just throw it in the can and move on to the next one - it might be a real error.</p><p>Ben Peters[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
