My goodness, look at the flow lines around the rim! That and all the worn die indications, stretching and mushiness . Should have been retired long time ago... Maybe need to name this one the " Walmart Greeter"...   A Poorman's Doubled Die too, never seen cracks betwixt digits before, wow! Bigger cracks than a pulmber's behind! Edited by Crazyb0

On some of these that we see it is a wonder on how they stay together to punch the planchet. For me the more cracked up the better (at least for now until I learn and find more DD's & other varieties).

Wow. There's a lot going on with that cent. There's the die crack on the date, what I think is a lamination error on the lower bust and the partially grease-filled letters (I and T) on the reverse! Also, die cracks on the head and whatever caused the weak L in Liberty (grease?). It looks like every more common anomaly has happened to this coin all at once.

Thanks a bunch John, I needed a direction to look into. Seems to be a match to RIDB-1c-1955-20 except mine is a different die stage? I may have an extra die crack further up the top of the head compared to the listing. http://cuds-on-coins.com/lincoln-ce...k-1909-1958/I'll do some side by sides and post them for confirmation. |

You're right John1. Revisiting it, I see the lighting correctly. Oops!

Thank you nfine, I think it is too. Here are some side by sides. My head die cracks are a bit different, I seem to have an extra crack and chip above the listed coin. Don't know how much importance that holds as far as the listing match.    |
