threeboys123 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 11/09/2011 03:12 am I would appreciate an opinion on this coin. I found it in just pocket change I can't help looking at every coin. I collect early American Ancient. But I love them all. This coin looks like it has been through the mill but I think it has alot to do with the errors it also has environmental damage. So is it worth doing anything with? Anyway this little thing has so much going on a real decent DDO with the date, In God We Trust and Liberty and the mint mark is misplaced sideways on the chin and is an "S" over "D" I think or could be the other way But I "S" over "D" all on the chin. Another extra "S below Liberty. It has a double lamination error and a big die clash from the reverse under In God We Trust. Lots of extra metal mostly long rectangular in size. And a three prong claw type gash across the cheek most probably done during the minting phase looking at the toning and everything under the microscope. Finally a missing VDB. Now for the reverse it has doubling in United States of America, One Cent, E Pluribus Unum and the initials FG as well as the same extra metal some in between the columns one looks like an extra one. It also has a die clash between "of States" and E Pluribus Unum. It also has a lot of circulation scratches and nicks and some environmental damage. So I guess the question is with all these neat traits and the fact that I have not been able to find any documentation of a 1975 DDO or DDR "S" or "D much less whatever you would call what this little lady is what do you think of this? Any real value here? Sorry the pictures just don't tell the whole story but would appreciate any feedback kind of new to the LIncoln scene starting with my little boys. Thanks!

tights24 Pillar of the Community United States 2254 Posts	Posted 11/09/2011 09:05 am I'm far from an expert, but I'm thinking all of the die clashes and misplaced marks you are seeing is from a press job in a vise using another coin. A misplaced mint mark would be raised would it not? Also not sure if that's even a possibility on a circa 1975 cent. Sorry I can't help more but the experts will chime in soon enough.

Dave42 Pillar of the Community United States 571 Posts	Posted 11/09/2011 11:08 am All I see is a damaged coin. When you have a coin with a lot of little nicks and dings on it, it is easy for your brain to try to make sense out of these random patterns, kind of like how people see animals in the clouds, or the image of Elvis on a burnt peice of toast. Mintmarks were placed by hand in the 70's, but even the worst mint employee would not accidently place the wrong mintmark on the chin, and then correct it with the right mintmark, but still in the wrong location. Most of the other things you are seeing on this coin, I can't see just because the pictures are not close enough to determine anything. Most likely any doubling you are seeing is Mechanical Doubling, wich is very common and not worth a premium. Dave Report this Post to the Staff
