Bought this coin because it's in good condition and has a lot of stuff going on.   Bear with me because I am an error noob so my error lingo may be all over the place. At first I thought this might be an off centre strike since the Trust seems to be a bit quashed and pushed against the rim whilst Liberty on the other side seems stretched. There is definately something going on with Liberty as LIB is smallest E is an intermediate height and RTY is taller than all the other letters. That flattened L, I saw, seems to be something that happened frequently on some early Lincolns so that's nothing special.  Circled areas are "struck through" errors I believe. It looks like there was a rectangular object that may have first stood on it's edge to leave a large dent near the mouth then flipped over and left a rectangular imprint on the neck. The other area seems to have two triangular dents?  Then I also caught this area which seems to contain the letter L and some other letters I cannot identify. The Reverse has severe Die Deterioration with melted wheats and flattened Motto. Could there be a DDR in the Motto?  Ok am waiting to hear from the experts  *** Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. ***Edited by KaiserSoze

Kind of lots of little things wrong with that coin. Did you buy it for the errors?

Thanks frog! Ok a die clash but what area of the reverse got on the obverse. Can't reconcile the position of the writing with anything on the reverse especially not in that position. Same goes for the triangle and the rectangular object on the neck!  As for the reverse you guys think it's Die Deterioration Doubling? |

I think the reverse is DDD. As for the possible clash,might be a MAD clash. Need an overlay,or I am totally wrong. John1 |

Yep bought it because it's like a collection of different kinds of errors on a rare date in MS for Lincoln cents. Plus the errors aren't in your face save for the Die Deterioration one actually needs to look around a bit to find them. |

Yes at least not a typical die clash. And even with more exotic ones I have a hard time imagining where those letters in the beard came from. Is that an M and an L? Maybe pieces of a broken coin got imprinted on this coin? Would also offer an explanation for the triangle and the rectangle perhaps.
