foyposn New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 02/15/2017 01:13 am I found this 1979 lincoln in a roll yesterday. At first, I though it was deep scratch, but then I looked again and noticed the lettering of the reverse "ACIREMA" was showing on the obverse: I also noticed this going through Lincoln's head: Then on the reverse, it has the obverse "TSURT EW". Hard to see from this image, I know. But it's definitely there: What happened to this coin and what should I do with it? Report this Post to the Staff

If I can, I'll post a better set of images. Report this Post to the Staff
