I swear this coin has already been worth over a million dollars to me . I have never laughed so much in all my life. First off I never said a word to cpm9ball , I was talking about you for what you said in your #5 post on this thread. second I never took any post down ....The post you are talking about is on the Coneca talk forum and it is still there. This is a new thread of mine on here. I just used some of my same words from my Coneca thread. You say i'm hurt because I'm being made fun of? , what a joke.anyway my coin would not be worth much even if it was declared to be a real error and what you say is not going to upset me .... LOL

 

ikandiggit i'll try to get a photo for you.

 

You were quoted in what is now post #2. How could you have been responding to my post (#5)? Go away while you're not so deep into the lie you are attempting to weave.

 

I'm not attempting to weave any kind of a lie and I hate all liars. everything that was said is right here for everyone to examine. my first reply to anyone in this thread was on post #8 ..... Do you take some kind of medicine ?

 

Thanks, but I meant the other side. Your original is cropped and I'd like to see the lighting across the entire face of the coin. In pic four I can see some marks on Lincoln's face. I just wondering how far it goes.

 

I know and I had the photos for you and could not get all of the four I had on here. I'll try the obverse photos on this post.

 

These are okay. Thanks. This really looks familiar and I'm just trying to remember where I've seen this before.

Give me a while to mull this over.

 

wow!, Rascal ...just think of it this way, you've had more responses to your post than I've ever had. LOL! Good thing I never posted these before...or maybe I should have...that way I could get the feedback you did. See my interesting finds LOL!

 

LOL......Funny,I just came here to learn a few things and I am finding some Good Humor as well.....No pun intended coming from IceCreamLady of course

 

ooops sorry about that clicked too fast. but here they are...just of few of my interesting finds. Personally, I think everybody just might....I write....just might find the second lone picture of the 1984 interesting.

 

Busyeye, your solo pic looks like a struck through.

 

Hmm. When i look at the obverse, i see the outermost "divot" (for lack of a better term) seems to extrude past the normal circumference of the coin.... however this is not at all visible on the reverse picture. Maybe it's just my newbie eyes, but I find it somewhat.... curious... that those two pictures belong to the same coin.

CSI: cointalk anyone?

 

You can rest assured that all of my photos are of the same coin . what you are looking at is whatever did this hollowed out part of the top rim and left a super thin outer shell of the rim.then to the right of this it went down between the collar and the top of the planchet about a fourth of the way down into the rim. I'm getting bored with this so the rest of you can go at it.

 

Folks I was thru with this thread but I decided to get back on here for one last time and give you all some of my new findings about this funky looking unusal coin to see what you think now. Like I said earlier i'm really good about identifying damaged and fake coins and I still say this coin in question is a real mint error even more so after re examining it today. I was examining the edge of the coin where the worst damaged area is and there it was plain as day , a straight clip that comes halfway down on the coins rim with some coin metal flowing down into it . this got me to thinking it may be from the end of a planchet strip.then I started using common sense and putting two and two together and figured out that what we are looking at on my coin is mostlikely tool marks from where the mint workers uses the tools to handle the big heavy copper strips. So what we have here is probably a coin that was struck on a already damaged planchet and struck thru a late stage die cap. it just may be able to be authenticated after all. regardless of what happened to it I'm still about 100% sure it was done at the mint and it has found a new home with me.

 

Post-mint damage.

 

I don;t understand what rickmp is talking about. As far as I know, posters cannot "delete" other posters posts.

 

Any marks left on the planchet would have been virtually wiped off when the coin was struck in the coining chamber... Also if the planchet went into the chamber like this you would expect to see some of "In God We Trust" in the damaged area. The reason you do not see that is because this was done post mint and the motto was wiped out due to the damage.

Also I do not believe the reverse you are showing to be the actual reverse of this coin. The pictures you show do not show any of the rim distortion from the obverse which should be visible even if the design was not effected. I mean look at it... the obverse shows the coin is smashed out of round... and the reverse appears to be nice and round... Nice try tho...

I smell Jazzcoins....
