tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6152 Posts	Posted Today 5H 19M 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 4H 50M 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 2H 48M ago Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 102757 Posts	Posted Today 2H 13M ago very cool cent TB, but do you think that the reverse side had pate on it as it was dipped in the acid, thus protecting most of the design elements?

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6152 Posts	Posted Today 2H 4M ago I've thought of that. Seems reasonable but the coin does not seem to be out of round with thinner rims where the surface is removed than in the areas where it is well-struck. Report this Post to the Staff
