Opinions are welcome on this high grade 1919 Lincoln Cent. It that a big reverse lamination on the reverse or something else? Thanks for your help.   Paul Bulgerin

It looks like the lettering is carried over into the affected area which would make me say it's a genuine error, as to what it is I'm not sure, my gut says lamination, but I don't see any flaking so a strike through is another possibility

Real deal. The last two images tell the story.

Excellent example of a struck through.

Looks like it was struck through a small piece of wood! Nice find!

What is an error like this worth, considering the age and condition of the coin?
Ballpark guesses are fine and appreciated.

5-10 Dollar range. 3-5 for the coin and a little more for the error. This one is more desirable because of the condition and the error is more desirable because it is stronger than most laminations. Nice find.

Nice coin! I have a similar struck-thru but it is on the obverse:  |

On the 1970, what does the edge look like on the "GOD" area? It looks reduced in that area from the image?

coop,
Yes, it is about .001"-.002" lower than the rest of the coin's obverse edge.

Sounds like it is a lamination error then.

I always appreciate your knowledge and expertise, but I am going to disagree and say that it appears to me to be struck through a scrap piece of a die cap. A lam of that size would have sharper edges where the lam occurred; areas including "GOD WE TRU" are wrinkled like a struck-thru piece of copper; the area south of "IN" and east of Lincoln's face are indicative of grease. The rim edge area you were concerned about looks more like PMD as are the dings/dents in the rim @ 11:30-1:30; that is why I indicated .001"-.002" Sorry, coop. You are usually spot-on in your observations, but, IMO, not with this coin. Thank you for your input. Jim |
