I just REALLY noticed the outline of the first details are still there! Gotta be because that was the stretched tensor point(elasticity), sorry guys, I get off on the science behind this! Notice the outline of the date, thought the field and second bust. These errors don't come by that often!

Thanks folks, it is a pretty trippy coin. I find it hard to photograph through a slab but even parts of the IN GOD WE TRUST are visible in the field by the date. Other than it being a) rare and b) a very attractive example, I thought that the full secondary date being visible really just was the kicker. I just happened to show up at the coin shop today and they had just got this back from PCGS and thought, correctly, that I might be interested in it. Right place at the right time. In the last three days I found by searching 1988 RDV006, 1999 WAM, 1956-D RPM-001, 1954 RPM-001, 1936 obverse Cud 05, etc. (it's been a good run lately) but this thing is just so neat I keep pulling it out and giving it another look. |

Nice pick up. I found a somewhat similar 1996 cent. I posted about 6 years ago. Yours is a bit stronger. http://goccf.com/t/131341 |

Congratulations on those very nice and awesome finds! Do you plan on keeping the 1999 Wide AM for your collection or are you going to sell it? You have definitely have been having great luck lately!

I'm keeping the 99 WAM for now. I sold the one I previously found as it was roughly MS-66 and someone else wanted it more than I did. So for now I'm going to keep this one to fill that hole in my collection but honestly it's maybe MS but with lots of staining so not optimal eye appeal and probably wouldn't grade very well. Going a lot slower tonight as I am rarity hunting for oddball stuff like 1990 DDO-001 and not hitting on much but two Retained Cuds. And then...just scored my long-searched for 1983 DDR-002 in about MS-62. I'll post it tomorrow (later today it would seem at this point). Edited by tropicalbats

First set of front/back images are the first strike, second set is the second strike. II think you have that backward. The first part has the second strike vertically oriented, the second pair has the first strike vertically oriented. |

And excellent point! I debated about this quite a bit before posting that as the strike order. Should have put up the images showing to case to clarify. But pair one and pair two as I show them are the correct pairs, just a question of strike order. My opinion was that the double strike was easiest to determine on the reverse as the rotated Lincoln statue seems to be the second strike. The second strike on the obverse was very light while the reverse was solidly struck. Anyway, I would like to get it right so here is the coin in the holder and I would like to hear which is which. THanks!   |
