Do the lathe lines raise the value of business strike coins? I know I have thrown a few cents that had the lines back into my change jar.

I don't know if there is or ever will be any significant premium for the lathe line coins, most errors require that there be a market place (group of agressive collectors) who's interest in the coins would make the demand higher than the supply to garner any real premium.

Sorry for the late reply, my week has been crazy. Looks like Lathe Lines but I would have to examine under a scope to be certain. If so, this would be the first ones reported on both a proof issue and on a higher denomination. As far a value I'm not sure. When sold correctly on ebay with clear photos I have seen a '96D Lincoln go for $20-30. When over sold and the photos are not clear they can go for nothing. With a coin like this maybe I can get a write up by Billy Crawford to generate interest. Can you send it? |

Sorry...I don't think it's eligible for a DCAM designation. LOL. Interesting coins.

For sure they will never see that designation, The reverse of the coins are really quite nice though.

If these are lathe lines, why do I see them on Franklin Pierces face? Just curious. WOLF

I see nothing on his face under 16X with the coin in hand. In reality there is little else that could cause what is seen on the coins other than lathe lines.

Metalman, It looks like their is lines on his face in the pic. If their is not then I would say they are lathe lines. Again I am no expert. Just my opinion. WOLF

What ever happened with these coins? I ordered 2 clad proof sets and 2 silver proof sets and I have what I think are lathe lines on 6 of the coins; the Pierce, Lincoln, and Fillmore dollars in 2 of the lenses. The Buchanans look normal. The lines do look slightly different on different coins. Maybe they were stamped out to a greater or lesser degree? Anyway, I'll post a few pics of mine and hopefully we'll hear back about Metalman's coins. Fillmore  Lincoln  Pierce  |
