Coin didn't leave the striking chamber in that condition. Curious--we saw a Lincoln Cent somewhat like this several months ago, as I recall. Report this Post to the Staff

Savage69 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 12/14/2021 09:04 am I know the coin has damage and the pictures don't do it justice. But when I get it under microscope were the notches are there is writing from another coin I just can't make it out. Report this Post to the Staff
bobby131313 Forum Dad United States 24192 Posts	Posted 12/14/2021 09:11 am Trust us, you're wasting your time. The coin was almost certainly in a vice at some point. It's a common occurrence, people put multiple coins in a vice to try and make fake errors, we see them all the time. Impressions of letters and design features can be left on the other coin.

You are correct, I remember that coin, it looked 'waffled' from the jaws of a vice. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
