tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6151 Posts	Posted Today 3H 1M ago I'm posting this in response to a recently posted 1957 Lincoln Cent by MintedNotPrinted. Both coins show one strongly struck side and one very soft side. This effect can be from a one-sided acid bath, but at least on this one the opposite side would suggest that a thin layer of lamination was lost after the strike. For now, I am not 100% sure on this coin and still pondering it as I just found it two days ago. Weight is 2.66g and diameter is 19.0 1958 Lincoln Wheat cent mint error - split after strike Report this Post to the Staff

MintedNotPrinted Pillar of the Community United States 1468 Posts	Posted Today 2H 32M ago That's a very cool example, tropicalbats, with the split on either side. I'll definitely be weighing mine tonight... Thanks for posting! (Edit corrected typo) Edited by MintedNotPrinted Today 30M ago Report this Post to the Staff
