Here's An Interesting Error 1960 Lincoln Cent That I Found...

There is another photo of Liberty in my profile that didn't make it here.
Thanks guys.

Just so you know, Daniel Malone from Coin Help said that the errors are due to Die Deterioration, and it is neither rare nor valuable.

Thanks Guys

You were told it was a damaged coin and you sold it as an error coin on ebay anyway?

I am reimbursing the man his money.
I did not read the comments on here after posting that I sold it, nor did I really think that they were intentional errors, but I have since learned a valuable lesson, and being the honest person that I am will do the right thing.

Thanks guys

Right...... we have no clue what we're talk about. Especially the guy who runs the largest index and magazine on error coins.

So here comes the newb with a new question. Was that greenish tone on this coin evidence of PVC residue? Maybe in old plastic flip at one time? Just curious. Or was that pointed out already? Didn't see anyone ask or state but may have missed. I got some like that out of an old penny collection holder. Found some nice ones though not effected. Unfortunately some MS examples were ruined because if it. But curious of it on this coin even though damaged. But interesting issues for sure.

I agree with all the upthread comments regarding post-mint damage.

Metal flow and discoloration can also result from electrical current heating the coin repeatedly over time. One possibility is that this coin was used to replace a fuse in an old fuse box (which is also a really good way to put lives at risk and burn down a house).

Just my Two Cents' worth, which respectfully is double this coin's value.

I have no doubt he's honest, just mistaken. As to the cause of the rippling, folks have speculated about rotating wire brushes, acid, heat, or various combinations. I really don't know. But it's not something that could emerge from a press and it's distinct from Die Deterioration, coins struck through multiply-struck, multiply-shifted caps, and other errors that can produce superficially similar appearances.
