<p>[QUOTE="1stSgt22, post: 7612877, member: 116892"]I found this cent several years ago and thought it looked really unusual! I put it in a flip and filed it away! Just found it again and decided to post it here to get some feedback/opinions!!! First thing I noticed was the last number is missing from the date! I assume this means it is a greaser! Then I noticed the mark/gouge on Lincolns back! Can't imagine how that could happen at the mint so I assume that is post mint damage! The weird part came when I looked at the reverse! A lot of the letters are completely or partially missing as well as the middle of the monument! This is also the case on the obverse but not as prevalent! Then I noticed the coin is much thinner that a normal cent, and wondered if that prevented a full complete design when the reverse was struck! Looking forward to your thoughts!!!![ATTACH=full]1310486[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1310487[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1310488[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
