No mint mark. How much is it worth if anything?

Looks like it - congrats!

 

Anybody know what it may be worth?

 

A few bucks maybe? I see circulated examples going for 6-10 dollars on eBay. The spotting on this one would kill most of the value for a collector. Still neat find though. Congrats.

 

Ok, that's cool. At least I found SOMETHING decent! cheese grin!

 

Nice find, been looking for that one in roll hunting for years.

 

I'm going to sell it

 

If you do this as an auction on ebay, let us know how you made out.

 

Ok, I will. I may send it in to ANACS first. See if I can get it graded.

 

Don't take it wrong when I describe this one as the "least rare" of the Lincolns with "wrong" AM's. It still doesn't grow on trees.

In truth, I don't think it needs the expense of a slab. The surfaces are unlikely to pass as "original," and the resulting slabbed coin won't increase in value. The selling point doesn't need ANACS to prove it's real, anyway. Anyone can see it.

 

OK, that is good to know. Thanks!

 

Honestly Sheila, I'm not so sure about sending this one out to ANAC's. Firstly because of the damage which would probably get it a details label. So therefore you might also have to pay extra for them to attribute it, shipping costs to them and shipping costs back to you. You might end up with a white elephant and not be able to sell it for anything close to what you pay out. Just a thought. They are running a 5 coin special for $75.00 right now, total cost for regular U.S. coins, but errors always cost extra. If you can get close to what was posted above plus your shipping that would be the best way to go with an auction. Then set that money aside for something the same but much nicer. Better not to get caught up in the rush of finding your new error. IMHO. Tom

 

Cents dont have Ps

 

Yeah - I was wondering what Tommy meant by that.

 

Thank you for the advice. I will be Careful what I do. Should I try to clean it up with a coin solution? If so, what would you recommend?

 

I'd leave it as is - let the person who buys it clean it if he/she chooses to.

 

OK

 

Markus is correct, I'd also leave as is. It's not attractive but at least someone buying it will know it has not been tampered with, then if they wish to conserve it, so be it.

 

What was I thinking...Nickels of course, my oops.

 

What? Where? I don't see that there, lol. I know, it was Quick Draw McEdit!
