Hi there everyone. I have several coins I'm looking for help in identifying. I'm gonna start with my 1919 Lincoln Cent. Theres a mark on obverse side, on the left, when flipped onto reverse sideit appears on the bottom left hand side on the wheat stalk. also on the reverse side the ketter O on One and C on Cent can both be seen doubling with out the use of magnification. the coin also appears to be off centered some what. if anyone can look at my pics I'm posting and let me know if I'm correct in saying any of what I have said; and or correct me by telling what these errors are if they are minting errors and lastly whether ir not my coin is one worth having graded or not I would greatly appreciate any and all assistance. Thanks for the feedback.       |

No, these are not errors. Just the result of normal circulation wear and tear and intentional damage on the reverse. All of this is damage. PSD. And no, it's definitely not even worth getting it graded. Coin is probably worth a Dime at most. Errers and Varietys.

Have to agree with errers. Sorry. Just not seeing whatever it is you are seeing with doubling on these pictures and that spot looks like damage.

@bigp, with these pics, everything does look like circulation damage or purposeful defacement. You mentioned, however, that the coin was struck off-centered. Could you please add an overall pic showing this? (I can't see it with the current pics.) Thx.

Heavy circulation marks and deliberate damage. Just a cull.   to the CCF! |
