[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 4011435, member: 77814"]First of all, look at that long ridge going through the IN and GOD. That raised ridge / hump is called a Ridge Ring. A Ridge Ring is indicative of Die Deterioration. When it goes through lettering, usually the IGWT and left side of LIBERTY, also of the date and mint mark .... you'll see oddities that look like doubling, or raised sections (from the Ridge Ring). [ATTACH=full]1055381[/ATTACH] It's actually easier to identify errors and varieties *after* you also learn about die deterioration, minting process, etc. Otherwise any "oddity" people think are related to an error/variety actually aren't. Also, *always* show the entire Front and Rear of the coin ... like, all of it not some or most of it. I don't even know what year this coin is .. but it's probably a zincoln. I highlighted the outer edges of the Ridge Ring here, but it goes further right and goes down through LIBERTY too. [ATTACH=full]1055387[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
