Coin Addict Valued Member United States 110 Posts	Posted 12/16/2012 8:18 pm http://www.ebay.com/itm/1959-Lincol...refresh=true I don't know much about error varieties but own a few and find them interesting. I'm a major Lincoln Cent collector, so this is a natural fit. I'm soliciting opinions about this particular coin. If anyone is drawn to bid, please do so, I believe in fair markets.

argentum Pillar of the Community United States 1195 Posts	Posted 12/16/2012 8:24 pm PMD (quite a few dings) + I think what's called a capped die error. Report this Post to the Staff
amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 12/16/2012 8:24 pm Wouldnt it be considered a struck trough? I am probably wrong but isn't a "uniface" strike immpossible? Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 12/16/2012 8:34 pm I suspect it's struck through a late-stage die cap. Report this Post to the Staff
DrDon Pillar of the Community United States 2624 Posts	Posted 12/16/2012 9:04 pm I'm not sure there's much value in this coin due to the obverse damage. Report this Post to the Staff
Coin Addict Valued Member United States 110 Posts	Posted 12/17/2012 5:15 pm Thanks everyone for your input. I was outbid at $2.61 with a buck for shipping. I'm glad I passed on the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 12/17/2012 9:02 pm Interesting piece. No uniface strikes are not impossible, just very unlikely, and this piece does have some of the characteristics I would expect to see in a uniface strike. The one thing that bothers me is I would not expect the ghost image of the reverse to be that strong on a uniface. On a late stage capped die strike yes, but the coin doesn't really look like a late stage capped die strike either. I'm not sure which one it is. Report this Post to the Staff
