Hi; This 1972 Lincoln Memorial has a deformed face and on reverse has a swirl error that must have pushed the metal up to deform his face. Trying ti figure if it is a business or mint error. Believe metal had to be soft to make his face look like it does. Any suggestions woukd be appreciated. Marshall   |

The circular/twisting appearance could be due to a Gumball Machine or similar. Unfortunately, PMD. |

 to the CCF It is damage of some sort, doesn't really matter what kind. No way for that to happen during the striking of the cent. |

Yes, post-strike damage of a mechanical nature. Cool example.

1972......Older homes had screw in fuses in the electrical boxes and if you didn't have a replacement at the time one would use a penny.

Yes Greasy Fingers, I worked on a few of those old houses, they only had two wires with no ground for electric called tube wires. Great homes to metal detect around.
