I would like to see a picture of the other side of the coin please.
The way the obverse looks indicates that the coin is not an authentic coin.
When a coin is struck on an incomplete planchet, the details next to the edge of the clip are not sharp the way the coat of Lincoln is on this coin.
I am not saying that this coin is definitely a forgery but I can't tell without seeing the other side.
Thanks,
Bill

Also if you look at the edges of where it is clipped it appears recent because it is very clean, sharp and not worn at the edges. I think someone tooled it. Just my opinion. And...Welcome to the Forum!  Edited by thingee

Doesn't appear to be a true clip. If it were, about a $20 coin....as it is, it's damaged and worth face value.

How do you think something like that could happen to a coin, I figured it was a clip bec the other pennies curve matches the clip curve in the coin like a puzzle.

well as was said if it were a clip error when it was pressed the metal would flow towards the clip and make the design on the coin look mushy, your coin was cut by someone after it left the mint. Not sure what they used to make the cut but it could be anything from metal shears to a dremel with a cutting tool on it(I have seen both happen) so no one knows how it was actually done but from the images we can tell that it isn't something that was done at the mint because the metal flow just isn't correct for a real clipped planchet error

you know since you have had the coin since it was new there may be that chance that we are all wrong, it is allot easier to determine such things with the coin in hand but I have to tell you that I have never seen a true clipped planchet with so sharp details like yours shows near the clip. If I thought strongly about the coin I would find a expert in error coins and see what they thought about the coin with it in hand and maybe they will determine that we are all wrong about this coin. I have to say the expert I would ask has already chimed in on this coin and that is coppercoins , he is the expert on lincoln cents and has wrote numerous books and taught numerous seminars to teach others what is real and what isn't and what to look for to determine what is what

What we really needed was a larger, clear picture of the reverse. If it were the same as the pic of the obverse, it would be easy to tell. In one post you say you've had the coin since the late forties and in another, you say since 1943...Which is it? that helps to know as well. You can see how the lettering is fuzzy near the edge of this clip. A genuine incomplete planchet error looks like this near the missing portion because the flow of the metal is "squeezed" toward the edge of the clipped area during the strike.  Edited by foundinrolls

Being made of Steel, the same flowing letters/numbers may not apply. Every one is comparing softer metals with Steel. If you really are interested you could ask coppercoins if you could send that coin to him for verification. A few cents postage may well be worth it.

It does apply, I've handled 1943 cents that were struck on incomplete planchets. The effect is the same.
