    Last week, I posted a newp of a 1921 O/C Cent.

    Here's a 1917 Cent I picked up a year or so ago
    at a local [ Ft Myers, FL ] coin show. My Dad was
    born in 1917 ... so this coin has some meaning to me:

    Elbesar-

    That's a nice coin! I think that's probably my favorite off-center that I've ever seen.

    Thanks, I have rarely seen an error coin with two types of errors on
    one coin; when I saw the date, I knew I had to buy it. I tried to contain
    my inner excitement from the dealer - and asked what he could do on
    the price. I think he came down $50 or so - which was an added bonus.

    Does that look better than VF-30 to anyone else? Or am I blinded by the immaculate picture.

    I thought the same thing. Grading errors seems to always be a pot-shot, but I guess the wheat ears killed it from being graded higher.

    Yes, I have to admit, it is a great picture.

    I have Todd Pollock of BluCCphotos to thank for the image.

    Same here. It looks like an easy XF if you get it reslabbed in a new-style holder.

    I was able to pick up a couple more 1917 Lincoln errors...

    It seems as if was easier to locate the O/C's
    than regular issues.
