<p>[QUOTE="rascal, post: 1312843, member: 29239"]Iwill try to answer both of your posts in this one post. I totally agree with you and cpm9ball about getting someone else to look at this coin. I know Mike and Ken both and have had dealings with them in the past. They both know about error coins and are good attributers. I also know a few things about error coins but none of us are totally perfect no matter what we think we know.We all are humans and sometimes we make mistakes. If I send this coin to anyone it probably will be Billy Crawford or Mr. Wexler.right now my wife is sick and I'm trying to take care of her and I have so many other things to do it will take me a while to get this done. if this is from a dropped die filling or the remnants of a totally worn down die cap this would probably be the first one found this severe on a cent coin.this would make it hard to confirm because we have nothing to go by.</p><p>I have only seen one more coin like this and it was the authenticated quarter that was on ebay. all I have to go on right now is the fact that there is no evidence of a hammer or squeeze job plus there is part of what looks like the letter O 0n top of lincolns head and at the ends of this it ends abruptly, it looks just like where only part of the O had become filled in the die then fell out.This part must have become dislodged from the bigger piece because it is out of place.If another coin was used it would come out smooth and slanted at the ends of this or the complete O would be visible.</p><p><br /></p><p>guys I really don't care if anything is ever done with this coin or the other odd ball coin I showed on this forum , I just like this odd ball stuff. but I will be sending it along with a few more to be examined furthur when I can find the time.Lost Dutchman you sure have a good bunch of coin experts on here,I am having a ball with reading all of these great posts they write.I hope these are kids and not grown men. I don't see how you can put up with all of us.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
