Drav3n New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 05/01/2013 11:29 am Was going through some scanned images and came across this. Checked against coins listed on coppercoins and found nothing similar to this. Appears to me to be a repunched date. Possibly a 3 or an 8 was originally on the die before the 4? Or it may be a D? Or nothing at all.... Report this Post to the Staff

Drav3n New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 05/01/2013 12:13 pm http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=mds That is the only one I found that even remotely resembles my coin. It has some similarities around the bottom of the pole of the 4. Looks like a super mild hook as well, like the hook of a D or the bottom of a 3... But that may just be my eyes matrixing the image, since this one doesn't have hardly any wear or imperfections. Report this Post to the Staff
Jayman931 Pillar of the Community United States 2651 Posts	Posted 05/01/2013 1:13 pm Looks normal to me...I believe it is impossible to have a Repunched date on a Lincoln Cent because because the dates were not punched they were put on a master die.

Drav3n New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 05/01/2013 6:08 pm I figured it very well may be matrixing. I am accustomed to this in different forms when dealing with sound. The main part that had me perplexed was the horizontal C type piece that is present under the 4. Never seen it so defined on a circulated coin. Most, even on AU+ coins, have been weathered away. Thanks for the information and opinions! Report this Post to the Staff
