Found this 1970 S Lincoln the other day. Check out the 1970 S and Liberty, any explanations? Also, does it look like a small date/high 7 to anyone else? Thanks. Chas.
It looks like someone has been beating on it with a hammer - both the date and LIBERTY. And, no, it looks like a large date to me.
We see these occasionally . They are coins that tumbled for awhile inside the fin of a commercial clothes dryer. Do a search here for dryer coin. The tumbling along with other coins inside the same fin causes the details to be damaged in this way. Thanks, Bill
