Coinsearcher77 New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 01/09/2017 6:38 pm I know I'm only an amateur, but I haven't ever quite seen a coin like this one. Could someone explain to me what's going on with this Lincoln Cent? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Mark1959 Pillar of the Community 7234 Posts	Posted 01/09/2017 6:40 pm Not error (doubling). Damage in circulation - sand blasted or acid environment is my guess. Edited by Mark1959 01/09/2017 6:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Coinsearcher77 New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 01/09/2017 7:51 pm I was thinking perhaps extreme heat, but the wideness of the lettering is uniform and that seems unlikely. Report this Post to the Staff

oldmike Pillar of the Community Canada 891 Posts	Posted 01/09/2017 8:44 pm I have always been under the impression that acid made the letters and numbers smaller or thinner, but I could be out to lunch. Would a dryer do that? Edited by oldmike 01/09/2017 8:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 01/09/2017 8:58 pm Devices mimic a Dryer Coin in appearance. Rims show different. Not saying it is, but often wonder about rock tumblers used on coins. Regardless this end result was produced after strike. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/10/2017 12:14 am It is not acid because the rim is still there and not affected. Just a damaged coin. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 01/10/2017 05:14 am Not an error. Looks like a Dryer Coin or "lightly" beat up with leather as a buffer like when they make a Texas Cent. Just an idea. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
