<p>[QUOTE="The Penny Lady®, post: 868063, member: 16948"]I posted this on the CU forum but haven't gotten many responses yet so I thought I'd post it here to. I recently bought this 1917-S Lincoln cent and sent in to PCGS to be graded. I liked it because it has some pretty iridescent toning and several bold reverse die breaks (which I really like), but then when I had Todd photograph it, he pointed out to me that it also had a defective or split planchet from 6:30 all the way around to 10:00. It also has what looks like a strike thru in the motto area where UNUM should be, and/or a weak strike in some of the letters in UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, but I'm not sure they are strike thrus because the planchet is so messed up, that I thought it is possible be that the coin just didn't strike properly. Any thoughts?</p><p> </p><p><img src="http://bluccphotos.com/clients/charmy/4-17-10/Images/25.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p><img src="http://bluccphotos.com/clients/charmy/4-17-10/Images/24.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
