<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Treashunt, post: 173310, member: 6763&quot;]der_:</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; What you have is a Lincoln cent with a streaked planchet and a lamination.</p><p>The streaked planched occurs from the improper mixture of the alloys during the preparation of the metal prior to the creation of the metal sheets used for making blank planchets.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The lamination has similar reasons for occuring.</p><p>&quot;Does this enhance or hurt the value of this cent?&quot;</p><p>&nbsp; Normally, for a rare/scarce date I would think that it would hurt the value. For example if this had been a 1909 S VDB, then the buyer would want a nice unblemished example for his/her collection.</p><p>&nbsp;In this instance, for a common date piece, it may add a few cents to the value as a curosity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
