jgator44 New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 12/21/2011 3:00 pm I came across a 1956 D Lincoln Wheat Penney that seems to be an error coin. The head side of the coin has a very raised rim and the opposite there is no rim. The most odd thing is that it appears to be struck in silver. It is very shiny silver color and will not stick to a magnet. Has anyone ever hear of such a thing? Edited by jgator44 12/21/2011 4:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff
