<p>[QUOTE=&quot;slictoys, post: 3140315, member: 96960&quot;]I agree that it&#039;s difficult to say what&#039;s going on with your Lincoln Cent without better photos, but I WILL say this. If you have any question whatsoever whether or not ANY coin is an error coin, KEEP IT. I routinely see people telling novice collector&#039;s to just spend coins that are missing mint marks due to grease filled dies, coins exhibiting signs of machine doubling, and many other varieties of &#039;non-error&#039; error coins, proclaiming that they have no added value. This is simply NOT true in all cases. I know for a fact that there is a very real demand for many of these &#039;non-mint error&#039; coin varieties. I routinely sell Washington quarters that are &#039;missing&#039; mint marks due to grease filled dies at substantial premiums. I currently have a 1992 &#039;missing mint mark&#039; Washington quarter listed on Ebay that has bid up to $14.95 with 5 days still remaining. It is not uncommon for nicer specimens to fetch $20-$25. I personally consider even just $14.95 SUBSTANTIAL added value over the 25 cent face value. Some of the more dramatic machine doubled coins can also bring a nice premium. So, my advice to anyone who finds a coin that appears substantially different from the norm, KEEP IT until you can determine for yourself whether or not a market for your particular coin exists.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
