[QUOTE="JCro57, post: 24584182, member: 92083"]Greetings, fellow numismatic nerds! Recently I received and photographed what is the only known, and newly discovered, 1943 Lincoln Cent with two Obverse designs. I was contacted by a well-known error enthusiast, Paula Schommer-Blum (who runs Coin Q & A on Facebook and YouTube), who also suspected it could be genuine and recommended the owner to send it to me for an in-hand look. Specifically, it is a full mirrored first-strike brockage of the obverse design on the reverse face. Please do not opine on why you think it isn't genuine; it is. Error experts like Mike Diamond, Saul Teichman, and Jon Sullivan have confirmed my analysis and observation. It's a pleasure I was able to be part of the initial team, along with Paula, to officially declare it genuine, and that it is the only one known in existence with two obverse designs. ~Joe Cronin, author of [I][B]Mint Errors to Die For [/B][/I](now in the 3rd edition).
