[QUOTE="Noodleloaf, post: 508883, member: 17064"]This is my first post (and am newbie at collecting), and I definitely found something, but not sure what to call it or if a legitimate error. The 1989-S lincoln cent that is part of my Prestige Proof set looked like it had a "dot" before the E in E Pluribus Unum. On closer inspection, it actually has 2 ridges that run from the S in States downward through the E and to the dot between the E and Pluribus. The lower ridge peaks just before the E, making it look like a dot since it is finished and catches the light just like the dots. The upper ridge also makes a distortion of the top of the E. Please look at the pictures and comment. Since I know little about collecting, does this anomaly increase the value of what is otherwise a beautiful proof - or should I want my money back for the set? Thank you very much in advance![/QUOTE]
