Found this 2009 Lincoln log With a line going across it. The line is raised. What type off error would this be
It's hard for me to say without having the coin in hand. It seems odd that the lines are so straight. Are you sure they are raised? Maybe someone else can help. Chris
Thanks for starting a separate thread; it'll be easier to keep track of answers here. It's unusual to see that kind of feature passing over both the fields and Lincoln's figure uninterrupted. I would guess that it was some sort of problem with the plating on the planchet, but I've never seen anything quite like it. Then again, I'm pretty much of a beginner when it comes to errors.
I work in inspection department for my job. I ran an indicator over it , it was raised about .004 and I also checked it using a vision system at high magnification . It is raised and is not displaced material just extra material. I also turned it on its side and can see that it is raised. The thickness measure .0025
Push down on the raised area with a wooden toothpick. I'm sure it will collapse under the pressure, proving that it is a plating issue.
To help prove or disprove that it is a mint error. Unless, of course, you wish to remain delusional about your coin being an actual mint error.
Not if it's a plating issue. It shouldn't take much pressure. If it's a plating issue, what difference does it make if you damage it?
Then send it out to CONECA for a definitive answer. http://conecaonline.org/content/coneca_examiners.html
