Dr Seuss New Member United States 45 Posts	Posted 05/05/2020 3:50 pm Nice find and coin! It appears to be showing some remnants of a die clash, which I think is pretty common in and around '72. Edit: Still a solid find though! Edited by Dr Seuss 05/05/2020 3:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Daves Errors Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 05/05/2020 10:26 pm I am naming it, The rare elusive FAT HEAD LITTLE HEAD Lincoln Cent Error. Hardest Error coin to find in the Lincoln Cent series. Then I am going to buy it up for sale on Etsy for ONE MILLION DOLLARS >>>> P.S. If any of you would like to buy it I'll sell it to you for one cent LOL Edited by Daves Errors 05/05/2020 10:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/05/2020 10:45 pm The die polishing altered the die. So who ever polished the die. Spared no effort to remove something. Thus the two headed statue and the polishing on the left side near the column. (you just have to realize the bays are the outside edge of the die the same as the fields. So an isolated polishing will show as a raised mark on the bays and fields on the coins) Edited by coop 05/05/2020 10:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4407 Posts	Posted 05/05/2020 10:45 pm I've found one of these before, I thought I posted it here on the forum but I can't find it. It is a "die abrasion" issue as John points out. There is evidence that what people called die abrasion doubling is just a form of Die Deterioration Doubling. https://www.doubleddie.com/144864.html http://www.error-ref.com/abrasion-doubling/ https://www.coinworld.com/news/prec...survive.html Report this Post to the Staff
