<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 115664, member: 1242&quot;]Hi Forum Folks,</p><p><br /></p><p>I have Copper Lincoln Memorial Cent that suffered multiple errors and I am having trouble identifying what all happened to it!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> :rolling:</p><p>I would like to hear everyone&#039;s thoughts on this one and to hear from Mike Diamond as well. I believe that this is going to a tough one in identifying all of the errors. See the pictures below.&nbsp; <b>Note:</b> In the third picture, the Cent is wedged into a partially stapled 2x2 (thin side showing) with a normal Copper Lincoln Memorial Cent along side for comparison. In the fourth picture, the Cent is wedged into the 2x2 with the thicker side (split end) showing . As you can see, the Cent is about a third of the thickness of a normal Cent on the thin side.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know where to start or which error occurred first but here are my thoughts on what errors can be seen on the coin!&nbsp; I believe that is may have started out as a Flanged Partial Collar Strike that split the coin and the thicker piece was ejected.&nbsp; Next, I beileve that the thin piece stayed in Collar and suffered a Partial Broackage Strike, then was partially ejected and suffered an Indented Strike.&nbsp; Note: In the first picture you can see the image (outline) of Lincoln&#039;s bust above the Ident and along the upper rim, you can make out a weak &quot;IN GOD WE TRUST&quot;.&nbsp; In the second picture, you can clearly make out the Details and striations where the coin was ejected from between the Dies.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
