rgl1951 New Member United States 42 Posts	Posted 02/08/2016 2:43 pm I read recently about 1943 Lincoln errors being found. The error was they were made with the slightly smaller dime planchet. I remembered seeing a coin that seemed a bit odd the last time I looked at it. The gap from the rim to the "In God We Trust" seemed quite a bit narrower and the L of "Liberty" seemed to be stamped partially on the edge of the rim. I sent the coin to NGC for grading and it came back graded but in a plastic sleeve saying the error wasn't a recognized error. I've attached a photo of the Obverse and am asking for your thoughts about whether this is an error coin or not. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 02/09/2016 1:02 pm Coop, the title on your image is wrong, it is a cent on dime planchet not on dime stock. A cent on dime stock would be on a planchet of cent size but punched from dime strip. The term "wrong stock" means the wrong strip or "stock" was fed into the blanking press for the planchets being punched from it. In the case of the coin you picture, the planchet was a dime planchet cut from the proper dime stock. While technically the cent is on the wrong stock it is because it is on the wrong planchet not because it was cut from the wrong stock. Report this Post to the Staff
