Well....?

Do you see it or am I going crazy...?

I see a well worn surface, PMD gouges through the date and a hit on the MM which shifted the vertical. But then I could be seeing things as well.

 

The hit on the D looks to be at the same angle as the hit on the 0 and on the 9. Post-Minting Damage.

 

@expat you’re seeing a lot more than I am.

 

All I see is damage. I can't refer you to a psychiatrist because all of them I know are crazy, too!

 

Can't really miss it

 

@cpm9ball ah you know the real quacks

 

I think you meant @cpm9ball

 

I see you are clueless

 

My pareidolia this late at night "sees a '5' and a 'P' on Abe' coat hem. but that is of course only my imagination. Jim

 

I swear I see D/D... no body else sees it? Maybe I really should see a shrink.

 

Did you reference the RPM lists on Wexler, VarietyVista, or the other Lincoln cent site who's name slips my mind at the moment?

You don't need a shrink. You just think you see something that is not there. This is actually a normal thing for new collectors. What you're actually seeing is Damage.

 

Check out the following resources and compare your coin to those on the list. As I have discovered when searching for coins, there is more to a coin when you discover what you think is an error or an RPM, for example, such as die gouges and cracks and scratches used to verify it.

I am a new coin collector, and as Nut says, I have seen things that are not there. I still fall victim to my eyes and rely on the different perspectives and points of view from those on this site collecting far longer than I have been... the experts.
