shelby04151 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 11/18/2012 10:06 pm All, I am very new to collecting, and trying to identify true error coins, worthy of retaining. I have a couple pictures, if you can review and offer some guidance it would greatly be appreciated. 2009 Lincoln Cent: I have not seen anything posted about this, but it looked interesting to me, first the bark is missing under Lincoln sitting on the log, in addition, a die crack (I think) on the "O": 1988 Dime: triple counter clashes on the reverse? 1973 Lincoln Cent Reverse Columns filled in? Any and all thoughts welcomed - I trying to become more educated in good quality errors, and general knowledge to be honest. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

The dime looks very interesting,die clash(s) of some sort? John1 Report this Post to the Staff

It looks like a die clash at the top but the flame (red arrow)looks to be over the clash which doesn't make sense The blue arrow is probably a strike through something that was on the blank...or just a reflection..also areas of fullness at 11 and 8 o'clock that again could just be reflections or goobers on the blank Difficult images (lots of misleading reflections) but interesting coin Edited by Foxwoods Man 11/19/2012 08:46 am Report this Post to the Staff

Unfortunately, I cannot seem to get a better picture of the dime, however, it looks almost exactly like the pictured in Strike it Rich with pocket change, page 181, both obverse and reverse sides.
