1964-D Lincoln Memorial Error

Give it up folks, "A person convinced against his will is of the same opinion still"...it is starting from the wrong side of a scientific theorem with the result as the proof. "His" guy is right, not you.


BTW, the blue portion of flame of a small bottle propane torch is about 2k degrees, that'll do ya'.

I tried to post the link for the similar coin on coinbook, but it wouldn't let me. I found it listed under the "Other Errors" section.

To me it looks like another heat damaged coin. Since the rippling is on both sides of the coin, it would have had to be basically wrapped in fabric before striking, which I'm pretty sure is impossible. The coinbook website is pretty much like ebay, anybody can pretend they know what a coin is and sell it. It helps to have a place like this forum to help people interested in errors and varieties learn what the real errors look like, how they happen, and how to detect non-errors or faked errors.

It's JUST a damaged coin by getting heated. It's nothing special and can be spent safely. It's 100 percent Post Strike Damage (it happened after it left the U.S. Mint). This is what happened to your coin. No need to ask more questions, as your thread has been answered correctly. End of story, period.
