Normic67 Pillar of the Community 798 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 04:18 am I have problems getting to sleep and it is very annoying, right now I actually am pretty tired. On top of that our neighbors were gone and there delinquent son left the dog out barking all night and it was cold and wet. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverStackerKid Pillar of the Community United States 6478 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 04:41 am Lol. I love the chemistry between you two Normic67 and Silverworld11. Haha. I would look at the PCGS and NGC website to see which one is best for you. Report this Post to the Staff

Slamnbass Pillar of the Community United States 3644 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 04:54 am On a serious note tho-are u guys convinced this is double struck? Do u think the clashes line up right? Report this Post to the Staff
SilverStackerKid Pillar of the Community United States 6478 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 05:01 am Definitely a double struck. A clash would have no where near as much detail as this does. Report this Post to the Staff
dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 05:05 am It looks like a flip over double strike in collar. Nice error coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Slamnbass Pillar of the Community United States 3644 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 05:22 am I checked out that link and was just gonna say-if it's double struck it must have flipped over from what I'm seeing from that link Dave and u confirmed it's flipped that is awesome! I just though it odd how the reverse looked like the last strike on both sides to me but that's impossible,just what I was seeing but obviously it's not-gotta get that graded Report this Post to the Staff
SpaceMaNy0 Valued Member United States 343 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 06:09 am I would find it odd that a dealer tells you it's not rare then offers $100 for a 1 cent coin. People like that give coin dealers a bad rap. Report this Post to the Staff

kkirby99 Valued Member United States 231 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 08:32 am What bothers me is that in the first picture the second strike is perfectly aligned with the first strike so if the coin flipped it would have done so exactly on its north/south axis with no rotation. This in and of itself is very unlikely. In addition the second picture shows clear rotation on the second strike. The strikes don't line up. This doesn't make sense. My opinion is a very good vise job. I'd have taken the $100. Edited by kkirby99 03/15/2015 08:43 am Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 09:46 am Not a genuine error. Both faces have a mixture of raised and incuse accessory design elements. Furthermore, both faces show subtle warping. It's clear to me that a normal cent was struck a second time by crudely-fashioned counterfeit dies that carried both raised and incuse design elements.

kkirby99 Valued Member United States 231 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 09:51 am Thanks mike, I was just going to say that the Lincoln portrait in the first picture was not raised as it should be. The second picture shows both elements raised as it should be but the first picture shows it was struck from something that had a raised design like another cent. Report this Post to the Staff
