I snapped a few pictures of the penny in various other locations as they were present all around Lincolns head.

The fact that I had now found multiple coins of the same denomination and as well as from the same mint and same year, my mind started thinking that this might actually be an error coin. I am sure they are not worth anything monetarily, other than FV, I am just interested how it happened and maybe find out if anyone else has seen this before. Here are a few pictures from the other coins...</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;[ATTACH=full]1226799[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1226800[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1226801[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1226802[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1226803[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1226804[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1226805[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1226806[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1226807[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
