Your coin is still just a damaged coin. It did not leave the mint looking that way. The coin that was on PCGS is a totally different deal.
My offer to make as many of these as you want is still open, after all, it is just a coin that was damaged after it left the mint.
Here is a link to the error-ref explanation of lathe rings. Your coin does not show any resemblance to the pictures shown http://www.error-ref.com/lathe_rings_on_a_1996-d_lincoln_cent/ Hope this helps
Come on sis. I got your back. Ignore the haters and hang in there. Sticks and stones may hurt my bones but you can’t break me. Hang in there. This site needs the girl touch. They wouldn’t talk to their girls that way. Stay strong and represent
Not even close to the same thing. The face of the die is turned square and flat on a lather before the design is impressed on it. The lathe lines are just the remnants of the marks left on the face of the die. There is no way it could remove part of the design. Yours is just damaged.
"Less than perfect", works for me. Face it people THIS time ...everybody else IS wrong. And one more thing before I send the coin to be examined... The world wasn't created with KNOWN errors list. There are new errors noticed everyday. Not just on money but with life in general. You always learn something new. This why I ask questions. To learn. I am in school because I already know and am good at rights n wrongs. So ...eat my dust haters.
Personally I think because the photo does not press on the penny until after the lathe process...i think mine could have been erroneously stamped first.
Now you're just being silly. You wish to learn but won't except answers given. Again, the lathe lines are on the die! You either refuse to learn or are incapable of learning. Then there's the third possibility. You choose to live under bridges and eat unsuspecting goats that cross it. I'm leaning towards #3.
Please let us know what they say. You know what they say about a fool and her money. But, hey no one can say you were ignorant of the facts. We told you so.
You really need to learn about the minting process, then you would understand that there is no way yours could be a mint error. I guess until you learn you will never understand why it isn't and can not be a mint error. There is no yours can be struck before the lathe process because it is cut on the lathe before the die is pressed with the image. The whole point of the lathe is to make a true surface to press the image. Absolutely impossible to happen any other way.
C'mon, it was fun while it lasted but you pushed this trolling thing just a bit too far. No intelligent person can look at the pics of the lathe lines and think it remotely resembles your coin. Nobody, nada, nicht. The game is over. Just wait a few months, register with another name, and try a different style of trolling (hopefully it's more believable). See you then.
