    Yes you do. Nice find!
    What you have is considered a Die Clash. This is a very good example.
    It is even referred to as the Lincoln Prisoner Cent Die Clash.. Now google that!

    Great find. The obverse of the cent was stuck then it clashed with the reverse die. What you are seeing is the Lincoln Memorial.

    What paddy is trying to tell you is that you should learn more about how a clash occurs before you try to explain it to someone else.

    The clash occurred because there was no planchet in the coining chamber, and the (partial) impression of the Memorial from the reverse die was imparted onto the face of the obverse die.

    No. Keep it in a 2x2 holder.
    It's a nice error but not a major mint error.

    Not worth slabbing/grading at all,
    but a nicer than average example.

    Fairly common on cents in the
    1980's and early '90's.....

    (die clashes occur on just about
    every year of striking, some are
    more easily found than others, and
    some are stronger than others)

    Time to learn how to spell numismatics. The word does not contain the letter "e."

    Great find. I've never found one, but I bought one at a show recently for $1. Not worth slabbing but definitely worth keeping...nice to show people, even those who don't collect.

    Very nice find!!! I love strongly clashed coins. Other's not so much, for those of us who do, that is certainly a keeper. :)
