Hello, just have to ask your thoughts on this 1989 Lincoln Penny. Is it just me that sees part of the Lincoln Memorial pillars on the front of this Lincoln Penny? Or is it something else? Really would love to know what your opinions are. Thank you       |

This is called a clashed die. AKA "Prisoner Cent". :)

 with everyone else. It's a really nice die clash. To elaborate, a die clash happens when the dies are accidentally struck together without a blank in between. They leave slight imprints of each other, on each other. If a coin is struck on a die pair that was recently clashed, you get this effect. |
