[QUOTE="Estate Buyer, post: 1544749, member: 41154"][h=2]Need input on a couple of strange error coins[/h] [INDENT] I have attached images of a couple of strange error coins. The one coin is an 1826 large cent that appears to have been stamped with, or on to, a coin with a shield design, there are several that seem like they might work for the shield design that I seem to see, but I have not found any from the same time period. This image has some strange optical illusion properties, the hair and stars sometimes appear recessed, but are actually raised. The second coin is a Lincoln penny with the standard post-wheat Lincoln Memorial back. The rim is quite raised towards the head side and the head looks like a Lincoln penny head that was far too big for the coin, thus only the last part of LIBERTY and the first part of the date show. Any information/opinions are appreciated. I placed mistakenly this same post in the "What's it Worth" section, sorry for the duplication.
