fastfun1111, Those are Lamination Errors not Die Cracks! Lamination Errors are caused by a severely flawed planchet (i.e. improper mix of the compositions and/or air bubbles trapped within the metal that causes portions of the coin to crack and peel away). Frank
You can check on eBay as there are quite a few Lincoln Cents with Lamination Errors up for auction on any given day! Yes, some of the Lincoln Cents with Lamination Errors have value above the value of the Cent itself but it really depends on the Collector and the severity of the Lamination Error (separation or peel). Frank
I will be keeping these for my own personal collection. Not real concerned with the valu of these ones as I save all of this error coins. Thanks again
Daggarjon, Fraud or not, there is very little other choice in determining the value of these type errors as I know of no other market (Auction Site) where they are sold! Frank
there is very little additional value to Lincoln cent lamination errors. They are very common, although you may make some money off non-collectors.
Nice finds. :thumb: I think I've found one or two, but seems you did really nice. Might not have any additional value, but still neat to find. Very nice. :thumb: Phoenix
DUH...! Sorry guys! Can't seem to download/upload (whatever) the pics! Its a 1937 Lincoln Wheat cent, and it looks like melted chocolate on both sides. You can barely see 'ONE CENT'...its hard to describe. I guess it could be a lamination error, whatever that means! I also have a 195...? Lincoln Wheat cent that kind of fades from Lincolns bust down. The reverse is completely blank from the top half of ONE on up to the rim. Terrible description, I know. I'm going to have to learn how to post photos here. Thanks anyway! Nana
