KatThePenguin New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 01/06/2015 7:29 pm I found this forum during my hunt on Google to see if I could find another LMC with this error, but after 3+ hours of digging I've come up with nothing. It appears to be several raised dots in a slightly curved line that start at Lincoln's eye level near the right side of the rim and then go down through the 1 in the date and end right at the bottom rim. It's not something stuck to the coin, and it appears to have aged like the rest of the obverse has. As soon as I saw it in a lot of cents I was going through, I put it aside and put it in a tiny ziplock baggie. Any ideas? I'll try to get better photos, my camera's on the fritz but I might be able to wing it. Report this Post to the Staff

IMHO, what you have here looks to me like PMD (post mint damage) and its not really worth anything more than a cent. However, there is the rare instance when I'm wrong, so just sit tight and wait for the error experts! Report this Post to the Staff
