Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74138 Posts	Posted 04/14/2018 8:28 pm I bought this beautiful Double Struck Uniface cent on ebay for 19.95 plus 3.00 shipping. I won the auction and got very lucky that no one else bidded on it. I don't have it in hand yet, but I'll show you the seller's pictures. I'll also include the link. I just noticed in the seller's pictures on the reverse, there's a small Die Crack that runs from the "T" in "UNITED" and goes to the roof of the memorial. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2000-Linco...p=true&rt=nc Errers and Varietys.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74138 Posts	Posted 04/14/2018 8:36 pm Thank you Coinfrog! It's the first time ever that I've bought a Double Struck Lincoln Memorial cent for this cheap! I would usually get outbidded at the very end and lose, but this time, I didn't lose. I have always wanted one in my collection. There's also a Die Crack on the reverse on the "T" of "UNITED" that goes to the corner of the roof. Errers and Varietys.

Spence Moderator United States 34409 Posts	Posted 04/14/2018 8:44 pm @EV, very nice pick-up. I wonder what your thoughts are for preservation of this coin considering that the zinc core is exposed. How will you keep it from degrading? Just a extra large 2x2 or do you have other plans?

Thank you Spence! Here's what I'm going to do with it when I get it. I'm going to put it in a non PVC coin flip to help it from degrading. Here are the pictures of the coin flips.

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 04/14/2018 9:08 pm Nice pick-up. I worry about the zincolns rotting away, too, but I'm sure you'll take good care of it and maybe that will be enough. I hope so! You have to love an error coin with a good clear date on it -- especially if it's your birth year. Report this Post to the Staff

I worry about them rotting away too, but with good and proper preservation, it shouldn't rot. I'll take good care of this too. I love error coins with clear dates on them. It's only one year off my birthdate (I was born that year). Maybe I'll get my next one from 1999. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 04/14/2018 10:07 pm Wow, wouldn't it have been something else if it was a WAM! LOL! Nice one to add to your variety collection. Only way to get these is to buy 'em any more. Report this Post to the Staff

Nice one to add to your variety collection. Only way to get these is to buy 'em any more. That would be super cool if it had the type 2 Proof reverse. On ebay, I saw three Off Center 1999 Lincoln Memorial Cents that also had the Wide AM reverse (It sold for a lot of money and the guy sold all 3 of them on ebay! Buying them is pretty much the only option now unless you got lucky and found one in a mint sewn bag. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
FrankenCoin Valued Member United States 150 Posts	Posted 04/14/2018 10:13 pm How about Air Tight coin holder about the size of 50 cents should fit? Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 04/14/2018 11:45 pm Very nice. I would like to add to my error types as well and this is one I don't have, but would certainly have paid the $20 for it! It looks like maybe a quarter or small dollar Air-Tite may work. Just measure the widest point and see what it will fit closest in. Be careful it's not too loose, though, to allow the coin to rattle around.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74138 Posts	Posted 04/15/2018 12:45 am Thank you spruett001 for the suggestion! I'll see how it goes when I get it in hand. I got very lucky and only ended up paying 22.95 in total with shipping. Not bad considering no one else bidded on it (Just me.). Errers and Varietys.
