Wildhare Valued Member United States 219 Posts	Posted 02/21/2018 7:38 pm Still being somewhat of a newbie, and definitely one with Lincoln Wheat Cents, I received this one as part of a lot. I would appreciate your opinions on what I have. Thanks... Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 02/21/2018 7:54 pm Looks likw damage not a broadstrike. Possibly?:::: That or maybe a former Encased Cent? Edited by Crazyb0 02/21/2018 7:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7513 Posts	Posted 02/21/2018 7:59 pm I agree, it looks more like it was encased and used as jewelry. Report this Post to the Staff
scstrawn Pillar of the Community United States 536 Posts	Posted 02/21/2018 10:11 pm It has the right look for a jailbreak cent. :) Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/22/2018 5:27 pm Looks like a former Encased Coin, now just a damaged coin. Best to leave these in the holders. At least they have some value there. Other wise they are cull coins when taken out. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/23/2018 9:58 pm Here is what I mean by 'Encased" cents: When they are pressed into the holder, it damages the edge of the coins. Report this Post to the Staff
Wildhare Valued Member United States 219 Posts	Posted 02/24/2018 09:11 am Thanks Coop.....that last image is nearly a duplicate! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/24/2018 12:08 pm It looks like a punched in area under LIBERTY pushing through the back on the left wheat are area. So they may have hammer there to push it into the encasement instead of pressing it in like later examples. Report this Post to the Staff
