Message:: [QUOTE="Trants4md, post: 1428873, member: 37787"]It does have some Double Die characteristic's but that is a bit high for that. I have to agree with the rest of you. I only have one error coin I think could be worth that kind of money. I just recently found that as it is in an uncirculated 1972 mint set. But it actually appears "artistic" in the error. The eye appeal is very high on the error. It sort of speaks to you.. It looks as if the Lincoln Memorial is exploding and the parts are flying all over the place and blasting off the lettering on the reverse. The main reason I think this is worth that much is "I just don't want to sell it"... LOL What do you think? Is Lincoln Blasting his way out of that place? [ATTACH]174440.vB[/ATTACH] Now I am not real certain of this sites abilities. if you can't enlarge this enough to get a good look let me know how big I can upload I can adjust the main jpg down. This one was shrunk. The "oF" is completely gone, as is the "E" in E PLURIBUS, the PL and IBUS are disintegrating in the blast. The "STATES" and the "A" in America also appears to be disintegrating in the blast. It's cool, Lincoln stands out really great even when looking thru an eye piece because the roof above him is missing "Blown away?" He just glows. Some pillars appear to be double struck. Debris goes all the way out to the rim. Most of this is excess slag on the coin not scratches or gouges. But the Planchet was a poor polish. Especially on the obverse. I decided to call it "End of his Union" as I have reservations as to where our country is going these days... LOL  (O.K. Give me a break, I'm old! LOL) What do you think, Just a Virgin Mary image in the piece of toast thing??
