I see a worn LMC with lots of PMD. Maybe acid damage...? |

It is not about the condition, I believe this one is rare. Look at the faces that punched on the coin. thanks.

Well, I cannot tell if there are presidents' faces on the coin other than Lincoln. Anyways, if you can see "presidents' faces" punched on the coin, that's called a counterstamp. It was punched after it left the mint, which makes it PMD and face value. Sorry, but I am not seeing any "rarity factor" on this one. |

There were coins made with president faces engraved and this one has it. I hope it's not a fake. thanks. Could also be a wrong planchet, due to a low weight.

Where exactly do you see the other faces. I'm not aware of the mint making any cents with President faves engraved, so if that is true It would be considered PMD, even though it may have some collector value, somewhere. Also looks like a normal planchet to me. |

Jesus... WHERE ARE THE FACES? Obverse, reverse, above the date, by Lincolns nose, looking through the bush next to the memorial? Give us some specifics so we can try to see what you are seeing.

The only face on this coin is that of Lincoln. I agree with Jayman931...

No faces, just damage. Another case of the human brain wanting to see faces in random patterns. Like seeing Elvis in my mashed potatoes. No Lincoln Cents were minted with other presidents faces in the design. Some outside companies have counterstamped cents with different things, like the 50 states, JFK, Lincoln smoking a pipe, etc. But those are not mint products, are considered damage to the coin, and are not remotely rare. This coin however, is just beat up and worn out.
