Eva Valued Member United States 190 Posts	Posted 07/26/2015 03:34 am OBVERSE: has a line that looks like either limitation error or die crack In God We Trust god - looks double,LIBERTY is doubled , the E in we, and the TRUST looks looks doubled. The ear appears to what seems like another ear next to it REVERSE: Starting at the top U- in UNITED is doubled, the first S and the ES in STATES in doubled. The motto E - PLURIBUS UNUM has some doubling but hard to see in this picture.The memorial building has some column doubling and Lincoln appears to have a second pair of legs. In the words ONE CENT, "ONE" is also double. Sorry the IMG is not clear enough :( You make your own judgment :) Edited by Eva 07/26/2015 03:38 am Report this Post to the Staff

cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 07/26/2015 04:26 am Lincoln cents minted in Philadelphia have no mint mark. This cent is one of them. The San Fransisco mint only makes Proof coins, so circulating coins wouldn't have an S mint mark. The D on some coins is the mint mark for the Denver mint. Lamination errors can only happen on Copper cents which were minted in 1982 and before. Modern Lincoln cents are made of a Zinc core and plated with Copper. Sometimes gas bubbles can get caught between the plating layer and the core, an example of which can be seen on your coin just behind Lincolns heads and a line that runs between the T & Y of LIBERTY. http://www.lincolncentsonline.com/m...laneous.html There are some minor doubled dies listed for 1990, but they show more of a widening of devices than a doubling look. I can see some Die Deterioration Doubling on the reverse side of your coin, which is common, and has no added collector value. I am not seeing the double ear in your photo, but I do know that sometimes the angle of the light hitting the surface of a coin can make things appear to be something that it's not.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/26/2015 1:36 pm Boy they made an incorrect statement in bold print. Quote: The only proof Lincoln Cent from 1909 to date missing the mint mark. All proof cents from 1909-1964 didn't have mint marks on them. so how do you know if you have a proof coin in the 1909-1964 or a business strike one. The rim is the answer. The business strike coin has the rounded rims. The proof coins have the squared/sharper rims. Also the finish: Edited by coop 07/26/2015 1:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff
