Message:: [QUOTE="asrice2011, post: 1373234, member: 36057"]Discovered this find while combing through some of my old rolls of lincoln cents.  Not sure on what type of error this would be considered, so any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.  As you can see in the photograph's (took some with negative contrast to help as well), there is a "plus" symbol or could be a half strike of something else above the date that looks like the coin was struck more than once due to the doubling of the "plus" symbol.  What makes it even more interesting is that once I took the magnified photo of the coin, I could see the "2" in 2001 is there, but very small. At first I thought it was a die slip, which it could be, but the comet trail that is impressed from above the date to the mint mark is apparent on the reverse as well.  So my 2nd thought is double strike.  Below the bowtie of lincoln, if you zoom in a little is a ghosting of the 2 and a doubling of the bowtie a little further beween the jacket lapel and his shoulder, so is it a misaligned die.  My last thought was partial fragment when struck.  Nothing unusual with the weight either, 2.5g when weighed.  Any thoughts will be most appreciated.  Thanks[/QUOTE]
