[QUOTE="MVC, post: 372702, member: 5290"]Here is a Lincoln Cent that exhibits a few anomalies. I have not seen this before so I thought I would post it here to gather up a few opinions. Here are the things I noticed (there may be others). 1. There is a gouge on the left side of the obverse. I reckon it could be explained away as nothing unusual and that is was post mint damage. But…. 2. The back of Lincoln’s head is very weak looking 3. Take a look at the rim on the left. It appears to be doubled. My questions are Anybody know how this might have happened? Might this be some rare variety and I can retire or something fairly common?
