I do not remember how I became the guardian of this coin, but obviously something is very wrong with this 1947-S Lincoln Memorial cent. I don't think this is a case of PMD, but I am of-course, no expert by any stretch of the term. Your thoughts please! Report this Post to the Staff

There are also air tite sealed holders to put it in and that is the best option, but also the most expensive. I'm not sure how valuable that error is, but I have seen some listings list those types of errors for a few dollars for a copper cent. Report this Post to the Staff
FlipOfACoin Valued Member 474 Posts	Posted 01/11/2012 4:21 pm Thanks for the tip. I went ahead and stuck it in an air-tite holder. It probably does not have much value beyond being an oddity. I'll probably just put it in the box with the other 'errors' and keep it around for a while as a conversation piece. Report this Post to the Staff
